Wanted: experienced ChEs

Article Abstract:

The demand for experienced chemical engineers in the chemical processing industries appears to be on marked upswing. The trend is not confined to experienced engineers. A survey found that nearly two-thirds or 66% of the graduating chemical engineers seeking employment in 1997 had accepted job offers compared to 48% in 1996. Recruitment advertising for engineers has increased by 15% since 1997, with the majority of advertised jobs being for mid-level or higher chemical engineers.

Case-based reasoning gets CPI foothold

Article Abstract:

Case-based reasoning systems (CBRSs) are being used nowadays in the chemical process industries for trouble shooting and control duties. Dr I.R.-Roda Layret, a research scientist in the chemical and environmental engineering department of the University of Girona in Spain, said CBRSs re easier to solve new situation similar to previous ones. A CBRS is composed of a library of cases and a computer algorithm for choosing the closest- matching case to the current situation.

Micromixing creates a stir

Article Abstract:

Several developers predict that microscale mixers will become revolutionary in the field of commercial processing. Micromixers are miniaturized mixing systems which are manufactured partly through the use of microtechnology and precision engineering techniques. Their dimensions vary from the submicrometer to the submillimeter range. In almost all cases, these instruments exhibit a laminar flow regime so that the vast majority of units rely on diffusion for mixing.
