Perspective on Process Guarantees
Guarantee by Nick Youngson CC BY-SA 3.0 Pix4free.org Any of us in the engineering business solving process filtration and drying problems are familiar with process guarantees. While any supplier is pinning their reputation on their product, customers still often want the reassurance of a process guarantee. In a recent Chemical Processing article, “Processing Equipment – Are Guarantees Worthwhile,” writer Andrew Sloley suggests the client is asking for a process guarantee as a way to confirm…
Process Engineering Partnership Provides a Holistic Approach to Operations
Image source: https://www.humanperf.com/en/blog/project-management/articles/holistic-approach-serving-transformation Process engineering cannot succeed in a silo. As I often say, it’s best to take a holistic view of process operations. To that end, I’m pleased to announce my new collaboration with Procegence. Let me tell you more about our process engineering approach. Happily, one of my blogs on batch to continuous processing prompted Nima Yazdanpanah, President of Procegence, to reach…
Mixing Drying Technology Across Industries
Last year, BHS announced its acquisition of AVA-GmbH company and its mixing, drying technology. Combining our engineering expertise and project management know-how helps us both better provide a full process solution including mixing-reacting-filtration-cake washing-dewatering and final bone-dry powder. It’s been a year, so let’s now take a look at the different industry application for AVA dryers. The AVA dryer technology handles mixing, drying, reacting, granulating, sterilizing, evaporating,…
Benefits of a Continuum Approach to Optimizing Final Drying
As we announced in March, BHS has acquired AVA-GmbH. The AVA technologies provide for turbulent mixing, reacting and drying of wet cakes as well as powders and process slurries. The vertical and horizontal technologies are vacuum or atmospheric, batch and continuous, for final drying to “bone-dry” powders. They are an essential part of our “Continuum Approach.” What do I mean by that? This blog briefly reviews our first ground-breaking study showing the benefits of a “Continuum Approach” to…
Contribute to a Holistic Approach to Unit Operations!
Photo by Andrea Piacquadio on Pexels.com As the chemical industry changes and becomes more integrated worldwide, there is a need for information exchange. This must include not only principles of operation but practical knowledge transfer. That’s why I have agreed to edit a new book for Elsevier, “Integration and Optimization of Unit Operations.” As my readers know, in 2015, I published the “Handbook of Solid-Liquid Filtration” with Elsevier, UK. This new project offers up-to-date and practical…
