Study Notes
Process Technology
- Energizes liquids to moderately high pressure using a centrifugal pump.
- Energizes liquids to very high pressures using a reciprocating pump.
- Enhances pressure of gases to high values using a compressor.
Storage
- Used to store fluids and gases in storage tanks, especially for liquid fuels.
- Used to store gaseous fuels in pressurized spheres.
Engineering Flow Sheet (PFD and P&ID)
- PFD: Process Flow Diagrams show pipes with flanges, heat exchangers with supports, and each item has a code number (e.g., E for exchangers, C for columns, V for vessels).
- P&ID: Piping and Instrument Diagrams include pipe sizes, valve sizes, pipe fittings, and other mechanical details necessary for engineers.
- Coding for pipes includes nominal pipe size, material code, and sequence number (e.g., 2-Cl-6a' for a 2-inch diameter pipe carrying chlorine).
Conceptual Process Flow-Sheet
- An abstract representation of the actual process flow-sheet.
- Attributes include raw-material purification, processing, transformation, product purification, processing, and recycle of un-reacted raw materials.
Mastering Chemical Process Technology
- Five crucial steps: raw-materials and reactions, conceptual process flow-sheet, process intensification, additional critical issues, and alternate technologies.
Prominent Unit-Operations and Unit-Processes in Chemical Industry
- Various unit operations and unit processes in the chemical industry, including their functional roles.
