Distillation - how to push a tower to its maximum capacity
Article Abstract:
Final sketches of a distillation device poses an engineering challenge in terms of being able to extend the hydraulic capacity to reach incipient flooding but without exceeding this limit. Normally a certain degree of overdesign is provided for to make up for unknown factors in the design model's limits and to ensure operations under various conditions. In order to maximize the performance of current distillation devices it is important to determine hydraulic parameters and to pinpoint the exact bottleneck sites within the column.

Weighing systems deal with heavy issues
Article Abstract:
Digital technology has led to the development of feeding and weighing systems that are more user friendly and have the ability to meet facility demand for integrated operations. These innovations come with enhanced hardware and software components and services for some firms. Some of the more current products on the market include Fairbanks Scales' 5200A series, Rice Lake Weighing Systems' IQ+810 indicator and Kistler-Morse's SVS 2000.
