Packed Column Diameter Estimation

In our plants we use structured packed columns for gas-liquid operations, such as distillation, absorption, stripping, degassing, etc. As a process engineer we are required to estimate the packed column diameter during design calculation. Or, many times we need to check the maximum possible throughput capacity from the existing installed column. Apart from this sometimes

Fouling in Heat Exchangers

Heat Exchangers are the equipment we use in chemical industries to exchange the heat between two fluid streams via indirect contact of the fluids. In this both the fluids remain separated by a heat conductive surface. And, heat transfer takes place from hot fluid stream to cold fluid stream. Generally, we use utilities for exchanging

Shell and Tube Heat Exchanger Costing

As a Chemical Process Engineer, we are suppose to do equipment costing to evaluate the equipment fabrication quotations received from various equipment fabricators. These equipment are like shell and tube heat exchangers, distillation columns, agitated vessels, jacketed vessels, decanters, storage tanks, etc. This equipment costing exercise gives us clarity about the equipment cost, which we
