This white paper from International Process Plants (IPP) reveals how chemical and petrochemical executives are reducing capital costs, greatly accelerating time-to-market, and minimizing risk by acquiring quality secondhand facilities with verified operating histories. Using IPP’s Southeast Asia petrochemical complex as…
This whitepaper, Estimating Simulation Parameters for Batch Columns from Experimental Data, outlines a practical method for deriving key model parameters (such as heat losses, hold-up volumes, and stage efficiencies) directly from plant data. Using a lab-scale ethanol–water batch distillation column,…
Digital transformation promises growth, resilience and efficiency, but too often it fails to deliver. In fact, 70% of digital initiatives miss their goals because of poor planning, lack of alignment, and employee fatigue. This eBook, Getting It Right: Building a…
This new advanced temperature measurement technology delivers accuracy while saving you time and money associated with additional thermowell requirements. This white paper presents results of a direct comparison of non-invasive temperature measurements with classic measurements in a measuring medium, achieved…
SandboxAQ (Palo Alto, Calif.; www.sandboxaq.com) announced the launch of AQCat25, a breakthrough large-scale AI dataset offering deep insights into the atomic-scale dynamics that drive state-of-the-art industrial chemistry.
