Scaleup and Design of Industrial Mixing Processes. This item is unavailable.Scaleup and Design of Industrial Mixing Processes

A practical guide to the design, operation and scale-up of chemical mixing processes. The book provides readers with proven methods for solving all types of applied mixing and contacting problems commonly encountered in the laboratory and pilot plant, so they can avoid making costly errors in the design, operation and scale-up of industrial mixing and contacting equipment. Beginning with a review of fundamental processing concepts, the book goes on to describe a step-by-step approach to effectively set process objectives; implement pilot plant studies; select and design proper mixing and contacting equipment; evaluate mixing controls and contacting mechanisms; choose the optimal process for specific applications; apply effective scaling techniques; avoid potential pitfalls in process translations. Simple experiments and fully worked technical problems offer insights into processing applications ranging from speciality chemical production to biotechnology and fermentation to pharmaceutical production.
