Heat Exchangers: Choosing the Right Configuration for the Duty
Heat exchangers allow industrial plants to transfer heat from one fluid to another without necessarily mixing the two streams. They are used for heating, cooling, condensing, vaporising and recovering energy

Many industrial processes require temperatures that cannot be achieved economically through steam or conventional heat exchangers alone. In refineries, petrochemical plants and other process...
Mixing is a common operation across chemical, pharmaceutical, food, water-treatment and many other industrial plants. Although an agitator may appear to be a relatively simple piece of rotating...
Pumps are among the most widely used pieces of rotating equipment in industrial plants. They move cooling water, hydrocarbons, chemicals, condensate, boiler feedwater and countless other fluids...
Industrial plants contain a huge variety of equipment, but one useful broad distinction is between rotating equipment and static equipment. Rotating equipment contains moving components that perform...
Many process industries need to separate mixtures into different components. Distillation columns, absorbers, strippers and other towers provide the physical equipment in which many of these...
Pressure vessels are found throughout industrial plants as separators, drums, receivers and other process equipment. At first glance, their function may appear simple: contain a fluid under specified...
Compressors perform a role for gases that is broadly comparable to the role pumps perform for liquids: they increase pressure and move the process fluid through the system. But gas compression...
