Ideal Temperature Measurement for Ammonia Applications

Jim Cahill

Temperature measurement and monitoring is critical to synthesize ammonia for nitrogen fertilizer production. Growers usually use nitrogen-based fertilizers to supplement the soil and improve crop quality and yields. The United States alone consumes 11.8 million tons of nitrogen-based fertilizers annually. Ammonia (NH 3 ) can be used directly as a fertilizer, or as feedstock to produce other forms of fertilizers such…

PAT in the Chemical Industry: The Effectiveness of Analyzers

Jim Cahill

For those who have never worked in the pharmaceutical industry, the term PAT (process analytical technology) may be unfamiliar. It describes an effort between pharmaceutical manufacturers and the FDA, started some 20 years ago, to establish procedures so those companies could have greater flexibility when making changes to validated production processes. Rather than simply following a fixed recipe and testing at the end…

Avoid the Misconceptions Leading to Poor Alarm Management

Jim Cahill

In today’s manufacturing environment, where fewer experienced people are running the plant, well-designed alarm strategies are more important than ever. A timely, clear, accurate alarm—one that is not buried in an alarm flood—can mean the difference between safe operation through a process aberration or a disaster that impacts safety or creates an environmental incident. Plant operators know the importance of good alarm…

Building a Portfolio of Sustainability

Jim Cahill

I joined a breakout session at the 2022 ARC Industry Forum, Building a Portfolio for Sustainability , hosted by ARC Advisory Group’s Peter Reynolds . Included in the panel accompanying this session was AspenTech’s Paige Morse . Here is the description of this session: The energy transition and move toward a circular economy is causing investors, energy, and chemicals companies to re-align capital, priorities, and projects…

How High-Temperature Tolerant Flue Gas Analyzers Simplify Continuous Emissions Monitoring

Jim Cahill

This Chemical Processing article looks at how new gas analyzer technologies optimize emissions monitoring in chemical plants and refineries. It is difficult to find a process industry application that doesn’t burn some kind of fuel to generate heat. And where there’s combustion, environmental regulators won’t be far behind because industrial-scale fired heaters, boilers, and other processes invariably require monitoring…

Improving Quality in Midstream Lithium Production

Jim Cahill

In an earlier post, Solving Battery Production Growth Challenges , we touched on the upstream, midstream, and downstream production from lithium mining to lithium battery production. Today, we’ll focus on the midstream production process. Again, Sung Heon Lee and I collaborated on the content of this post. The midstream part of the lithium value chain involves manufacturing the Cathode, Anode, Electrolyte, and Separator…

Effective Radar Level Measurement in Reactor Applications

Jim Cahill

For chemical and specialty chemical manufacturers, reactors are used to perform many of the chemical reactions in the path to finished products. These reactors can be batch or continuously operated depending on the type of chemical reactions sought.
