The document summarizes a presentation about green chemistry and engineering given by Ken Rollins to the American Institute of Chemical Engineers – Delaware Valley Section. It discusses the 12 principles of green chemistry, which focus on preventing waste, using safer and renewable materials, and designing for reduced environmental impact. It also outlines the 12 principles of green engineering, including ensuring inherent safety. The presentation provides examples of applying these principles, such as using catalytic reactions instead of excess reagents, and assessing solvents based on their safety and environmental impact ratings.
The production of p-xylene is important for Pakistan's domestic and foreign markets. P-xylene is a raw material used to produce terephthalic acid and polyethylene terephthalate (PET). There are three main processes for producing p-xylene: toluene methylation, PAREX process, and isomerization of meta-xylene. The toluene methylation process has the lowest initial investment cost but yields a lower purity of p-xylene compared to the other processes.
This document discusses the simulated moving bed (SMB) chromatography process. It begins by explaining that SMB was developed in the 1960s as an adsorptive separation technology that simulates countercurrent moving beds using stationary beds and rotary valves. It then covers the basics of how SMB works, including its four zones (adsorption, purification, desorption, and buffer) and how flow is sequentially switched between beds. The document also discusses commercial applications of SMB, noting that UOP has installed over 130 SMB units producing over 20 million tons of products per year worth over $10 billion.
The document discusses strategies for improving plant profitability via better utilization of existing assets with minimal capital investment. It examines product slate upgrading, debottlenecking existing technology, and technology upgrading. Case studies show how producers have used UOP technologies like Tatoray and PX-Plus processes along with adsorbent ADS-47 to upgrade production from gasoline to higher value aromatics with existing equipment. This allows producers to take advantage of market opportunities, increase capacity up to 92%, and maximize profitability.
Anshul Bhandari completed an internship project at Honeywell UOP to develop General Operating Manuals (GOMs) for Merox extraction and sweetening processes. The GOMs provide operating instructions and procedures to help refineries safely operate these units. Anshul customized master GOMs for three client plants by editing plant-specific details, operating variables, equipment information, and startup/shutdown steps. The customized GOMs will help the clients develop standard operating procedures for their Merox units.
The document discusses green chemistry and engineering principles presented by Ken Rollins at the American Institute of Chemical Engineers. It outlines the 12 principles of green chemistry which focus on preventing waste, safer chemicals and syntheses, renewable resources, energy efficiency and more. It also discusses the 12 principles of green engineering, such as ensuring inherent safety, preventing waste, maximizing efficiencies and integrating material and energy flows. The talk provided an overview of green chemistry and engineering concepts aimed at minimizing environmental impact.

0300 factores clave y de impulso al desarrollo de proyectosJuan J. Elwart
Este documento presenta varios factores clave que impulsan la toma de decisiones para el desarrollo de proyectos offshore, incluyendo: el volumen explotable de reservas, la calidad de los fluidos producidos, los caudales de producción y el cronograma de depletación, la profundidad del agua, la extensión de los recursos, y la distancia a los mercados e infraestructura existente. También discute consideraciones relacionadas con el aseguramiento de flujo, requisitos de workover, levantamiento artificial y recuperación mejorada
El documento describe un curso electivo de 2 créditos sobre Fundamentos de las Instalaciones de Producción Offshore para alumnos de Ingeniería Química en Materias Primas Petroquímicas. El curso comienza el 17 de septiembre de 2014 y será dictado de manera presencial y virtual por Juan Elwart, Rogelio Di Santo y Ricardo Maggioni. Las inscripciones están abiertas a través del Sistema Siu Guaraní.
0800 decomisionado y remoción de instalaciones offshoreJuan J. Elwart
Este documento describe los procedimientos generales para el decomisionamiento y remoción de instalaciones offshore. Explica que primero se tapan y abandonan los pozos, luego se retiran los ductos e instalaciones submarinas, seguido de la remoción de los topsides y finalmente la plataforma.
