Reactor Dynamics Investigation Based On Calorimetric Data

Thierry Meyer, Francis Stoessel, Charles Ibrahim Guinand, Michal Dabros

A simple and general procedure has been developed to determine the thermal behaviour of a reactor based on heat balance, PID temperature control, and jacket behaviour. Using only temperature heating/cooling ramps followed by isothermal stages, such a proce ...

Thermal Process Safety Based on Reaction Kinetics and Reactor Dynamics

Thierry Meyer, Francis Stoessel, Michal Dabros, Charles Ibrahim Guinand

The specific problem of non-converted reactant accumulation encountered in fed-batch reactor is a challenging task of process safety. In order to avoid such situation that may lead to a runaway reaction, the reaction kinetics and reactor dynamic must be kn ...

Thermal Stability Predictions for Inherently Safe Process Design Using Molecular-Based Modelling Approaches

Thierry Meyer, Annik Nanchen, Francis Stoessel, Nadia Baati

For efficient inherently safe design, awareness of all available options at the appropriate decision-making moment is key. Simulations offer both timely availability and large screening possibilities. Therefore computer-aided product design gained in popul ...

Predictive Models for Thermal Behavior of Chemicals with Quantitative Structure-Property Relationships

Thierry Meyer, Nadia Baati, Annik Nanchen, Francis Stoessel

Most processes in the chemical industry involve potentially hazardous steps. It is thus of critical importance to perform risk assessments and to know the thermal behavior of the chemicals at stake. A widely used thermal analysis, differential scanning cal ...

FH HES Optimization of Chemical Reactor Feed by Simulations Based on a Kinetic Approach

Thierry Meyer, Francis Stoessel, Charles Ibrahim Guinand

Chemical incidents are typically caused by loss of control, resulting in runaway reactions or process deviations in different stages of the production. In the case of fed-batch reactors, the problem generally encountered is the accumulation of heat. This i ...

Quantitative Structure-Property Relationships for Thermal Stability and Explosive Properties of Chemicals

Thierry Meyer, Francis Stoessel, Annik Nanchen, Nadia Baati

Handling and storing chemicals in the industrial world require a conscientious hazards assessment and the implementation of appropriate measures to ensure safety for the workers, the company, the environment and the society. Reliable evaluations and predic ...
