Mechanical separation & Mixing

In most chemical and biochemical production processes, the desired product (s) from chemical and bioreactors is (are) in a mixture with other components, such as unconverted reactants, by-products and others required for the reaction such as catalysts, and the components of solvent or reaction media. Therefore, separation is needed to attain the products in desired…

Distillation, Thermal cracking & Catalytic cracking, Chemical Engineers training

The thermodynamic study of technological processes has two objectives: Determination of the overall thermal effect of chemical transformations that take place in the industrial process and Determination of the equilibrium composition for a broad range of temperatures and pressures in order to deduce optimum working conditions and performances The manner in which the two objectives…

Refining chemistry for chemical engineers

Petroleum (or crude oil) is a complex, naturally occurring liquid mixture containing mostly hydrocarbons, but containing also some compounds of oxygen, nitrogen and sulfur. It is often referred to as the “black gold.” The elemental composition of petroleum is much less variable than that of coal: 83-87% carbon, 11-16% hydrogen, 0-4% oxygen plus nitrogen, and 0-4%…

Petroleum Analysis (Composition & Properties)

Petroleum products are complex mixtures of hundreds of hydrocarbon compounds, ranging from light, volatile, short-chained organic compounds to heavy, long-chained, branched compounds. The exact composition of petroleum products varies depending upon (1) the source of the crude oil (crude oil is derived from underground reservoirs which vary greatly in their chemical composition) and (2) the…
