A combustion reaction is a very fast oxidation reaction in which one species donates electrons to another. Combustion releases a considerable amount of heat and light in the form of fire and increases the number of moles of gas in a closed ...
Pressure control systems are put into place to keep the operating pressure of all equipment below the maximum allowable working pressure (MAWP). If the MAWP is ever exceeded, pressure relief devices relieve pressure and prevent equipment fa...
Process control is the science of maintaining key process parameters in manufacturing processes at their desired set points. Process controls can tune any controllable element of a process including heating and cooling, material flow rates,...
Process safety is absolutely critical in the chemical process industry. As the scale of a process increases, so does the risk of damage to property and harm to individuals. This module covers several basic topics relating to process safety,...
While no reactor can achieve zero risk of fire, explosion, or thermal runaway, many process control methods exist to control pressure, temperature, and other hazards within a reactor....
Temperature control is very important to the application of process safety since it can prevent runaway reactions, fires and explosions, and equipment failure. Process temperature is often monitored by temperature control systems that are i...
