Digital Transformation, AI and ML in Chemical Plants

Leave a Comment / Industry /

Digital transformation, Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) in chemical process industries are in starting phase. However, we have witnessed huge transformation of chemical industries. Before 18th century production of chemicals was in batch mode. The plant operation was totally manual and human dependent. At that time product delivery was on top priority as […]

Chemical Thermodynamics & Equilibrium Constant

Leave a Comment / Process Engineering /

In reality all chemical reactions are reversible in nature. Moreover, final conversion of raw materials depends on the ratio of forward and backward reaction rates. During the reaction, at equilibrium state concentrations of reactants and products don’t change. Also, for some reactions when forward reaction is too high in comparison with reverse reaction rate and

Material and Energy Balance for Distillation Process

Leave a Comment / Heterogeneous Stuff /

In chemical process industries distillation columns are widely used unit operation. And, based on the production capacities this can be batch distillation or continuous distillation process. What is Distillation Column? Distillation column separate a feed stream having multiple components into two different streams based on the difference in boiling points. So, higher the boiling point

Model Equation for Agitated Continuous Reactor

Leave a Comment / Process Engineering /

In chemical engineering, model equation enable us to understand the behavior of the process. Therefore, using mathematical models we can run the process virtually and get optimum operating process parameters. Afterwards, we can use these optimized parameters for real life process. System Description We have an agitated reactor having volume V, in which two liquid

Mathematical Model for Non-reacting Tanks

Leave a Comment / Process Engineering /

Background As a process engineers many time we are required to prepare a mathematical model for non-reacting liquid tank or vessel having various shape (cylindrical, conical, wedge shaped, etc.). So, we are going to develop the same, let’s begun with a vertical cylindrical vessel shown in below figure. Consider following parameters for this vessel Input
