The first article in this two-part series (OGJ, May 6, 2013, p. 94) presented four process safety examples of possible inadequate overpressure protection design in amine natural gas sweetening, glycol ...

Process design kits consist of a set of files that typically contain descriptions of the basic building blocks of the process. They are expressed, algorithmically, as Pcells. These descriptions are ...

Building mechanical constraints into design decisions ensures smooth transition from prototype to production without ...

It is important that engineers document the design process so that they can communicate it to others and ensure no information is lost. It is also critical for convincing decision-makers to approve ...

Have you ever thought about how and why something was designed? Who was considered a “stakeholder” for the design? And what biases are baked within the process of designing something? These are some ...

"I have a feeling we're not in Kansas anymore," Dorothy says to her dog in 1939's 'The Wizard of Oz' as she walks around, discovering a fantasy set in which, without realizing it, we find ourselves ...

"A sample of 3D scanning technology that could help with product design."Choosing the right 3d scanning and product design firms and prototype makers is crucial. Look for firms with a strong portfolio ...
