Chimneys release flue gases into the atmosphere to reduce ground level concentrations....

Adsorption involves the separation of a substance from one phase, accompanied by the accumulation of that substance at the surface of another phase....

Tanks serve many purposes in industry. This page describes three types of tanks, such as the storage tanks shown here....

Differential pressure flowmeters are a type of inferential flowmeter where the flowrate is calculated from a non-flow measurement. In this case various methods of obstructing flow are used to create a pressure drop across a section of pipe....

Absorbers bring gas and liquid phases in contact, so that contaminants in the gas phase absorb into the liquid phase as a result of their interaction....

Energy processing involves an array of chemical engineering equipment and can be divided into three stages: Generation, storage, and usage. Generation of energy is the process of harvesting energy from a particular source, energy storage in...

Plug flow, or tubular, reactors consist of a hollow pipe or tube through which reactants flow. Pictured below is a plug flow reactor in the form of a tube wrapped around an acrylic mold which is encased in a tank. Water at a controlled temp...

Slurry reactors are three phase reactors (solid/liquid/gas). Pictured below is a slurry reactor used in the production of polyethylene products....

Trickle bed reactors are solid-liquid-gas contacting devices wherein a liquid stream flows downward over a bed of catalyst with pressure difference serving as the driving force. The fluid flows over catalyst particles and forms fine films, ...
