Improve fired heaters performance and reliabiltyAshutosh Garg
Fired heaters are often suffering from high tube metal temperatures and short run lengths. Operators are always worried about hot spots in the furnace. While refineries want to push the heaters hard, the heater starts coking up and very soon, the heater tubes have to be cleaned.
FIS has done extensive research and CFD modelling of heaters in the recent time and has concluded that localized burner flame and hot flue gas currents are responsible for the hot spots on the tubes. FIS has now developed a new patented technology for solving hot spot problems. This technology called Inclined Firing Technology involves orienting the burners at an angle on the floor / wall/ roof to direct the flame away from the tubes. The results of this technology have been extremely good and with a very low investment, the reliability and run length of the heater is improved significantly.

Episode 47 : CONCEPTUAL DESIGN OF CHEMICAL PROCESSES
Chemical process design is the application of chemical engineering knowledge (chemical, physical and/or biological transformations of raw materials) into products and economics in the conceiving a chemical process plant to profitably manufacture chemicals in a reliable and safe manner without unduly affecting adversely the environment and society
Chemical process plants are by nature large capital investment projects that
are expensive to build and operate
have very long life times and
manufacture specific chemicals
Chemical process plants must be designed well to avoid large financial losses over long periods of times due to inefficient processes/poor operations

Getting most out of bio-energy on industrial sitesEMEX
Businesses in the food and drink sector can generate bio-energy from their bio-degradable residues. On-site Anaerobic Digestion of food processing residues can produce biogas for factory use. If deployed more widely on industrial sites it will reduce reliance on fossil fuels and help cut GHG emissions. One of Britain’s most advanced on-site Anaerobic Digestion (AD) plants, located at First Milk’s Aspatria creamery, is the largest AD plant on a creamery site in Europe.

UNDERSTANDING WHAT GREEN WASHING IS!.pdfJulietMogola
Many companies today use green washing to lure the public into thinking they are conserving the environment but in real sense they are doing more harm. There have been such several cases from very big companies here in Kenya and also globally. This ranges from various sectors from manufacturing and goes to consumer products. Educating people on greenwashing will enable people to make better choices based on their analysis and not on what they see on marketing sites.
Characterization and the Kinetics of drying at the drying oven and with micro...Open Access Research Paper
The objective of this work is to contribute to valorization de Nephelium lappaceum by the characterization of kinetics of drying of seeds of Nephelium lappaceum. The seeds were dehydrated until a constant mass respectively in a drying oven and a microwawe oven. The temperatures and the powers of drying are respectively: 50, 60 and 70°C and 140, 280 and 420 W. The results show that the curves of drying of seeds of Nephelium lappaceum do not present a phase of constant kinetics. The coefficients of diffusion vary between 2.09.10-8 to 2.98. 10-8m-2/s in the interval of 50°C at 70°C and between 4.83×10-07 at 9.04×10-07 m-8/s for the powers going of 140 W with 420 W the relation between Arrhenius and a value of energy of activation of 16.49 kJ. mol-1 expressed the effect of the temperature on effective diffusivity.
