AIChE Equipment Testing Procedure - Trayed and Packed Columns

A Guide to Performance Evaluation

By: American Institute of Chemical Engineers (AIChE)

AIChE manual updates and consolidates procedures for testing performance of distillation columns From classic distillation operations to air stripping to other separations processes, selecting the correct column for appropriate efficient, safe, and environmentally-sound operations can be an important step. The newest updated volume in AIChE’s long-running Equipment Testing Procedures series, Trayed and Packed Columns: A Guide to Performance Evaluation, Third Edition provides chemical engineers, plant managers, and other professionals with helpful advice to assess and measure performance of a variety of distillation columns, including those that utilize bubble cap, sieve, valve trays, or packing material. The new book combines and updates into one user-friendly volume the best available field knowledge from previous publications on both types of distillation columns. Designed not as a single set of compulsory steps, but as a compilation of techniques, it will allow the user to select the procedure that best applies to its operating parameters. The testing steps presented can be used to assess reliable performance data on mass transfer efficiency, capacity, energy consumption, and pressure drop—information essential to effective troubleshooting of performance problems, identifying capacity bottlenecks, determining operating ranges, and a number of other routine maintenance and optimization processes. Opening with an extensive definition section, organized by topical area, the book then goes on to address: Selection of instrumentation and identification of elements to be measured Pre-test planning procedures Strategies for data collection and evaluation, including sampling procedures Pre-test, in-test, and post-test considerations (equipment, safety, process, environmental) Computation and interpretation of results, including individual breakdowns for trayed and packed columns in terms of hydraulic and efficiency performance Test troubleshooting analysis in twelve key areas The book concludes with appendices for relevant symbols and nomenclature, plus sample caculations generated from performance tests. With its engineer-tested procedures and thorough explanations, Trayed and Packed Columns: A Guide to Performance Evaluation, Third Edition is an essential text for anyone engaged in implementing new technology in equipment design, identifying process problems, and optimizing equipment performance.

Violent Extremism

A Nordic Outlook

By: Amir Rostami,Christofer Edling

Violent Extremism: A Nordic Outlook illuminates the global issue of violent extremism, with a particular focus on Sweden and the Nordic countries. This concise volume leverages empirical research to uncover the mechanisms and dynamics driving violent extremism, setting itself apart in a field often criticized for a lack of data-driven analysis. The contributors employ unique Nordic data to offer insights on violent extremism, examining its organization, the evolution of extremist groups, online presence, and societal impact. Aimed at fostering a deeper understanding of the complexities of violent extremism, the contributions draw on several social science perspectives to enhance prevention and intervention strategies. This approach not only enriches our grasp of extremist organizations and individual paths in to or out of extremism but informs effective counter measures. Essential reading for policymakers, researchers, and security professionals, this volume offers practical, empirical insights on tackling a pressing challenge in societies around the globe.

Guidelines for Technical Planning for On-Site Emergencies

By: CCPS (Center for Chemical Process Safety)

Prevention, preparedness, response and recovery--the key components of emergency planning--form the major sections of this work. The book first describes PSM (Process Safety Management) as the key to prevention, then goes on to consider the main features of a preparedness program, including recognizing credible incidents, planning practical strategy to deal with these incidents, selecting necessary physical support systems and equipment, and developing a complete emergency response plan. The Response section presents the functions implemented during an actual emergency and concludes with a section on managing cleanup and restoration of operations. The many tables and figures include Sample Incident Command System Plans for both large and small organizations, OSHA and EPA regulations affecting planning, sample Fire Emergency Action Levels, HAZMAT Responder Levels, and OSHA Emergency Training Requirements.
