Usually my CHEMCAD Courses are two days in length, this was double time 🙂 The 8 participants from Asia and Europe were great. There were tons of questions, discussions and very nice restaurant visits in the evening: I very much thank the CTO of the company for this course and hope I could benefit their … Continue reading
GVT-Course ” Fundamentals of Selection, Synthesis and Design of Thermal Separation Processes” in Oldenburg
This course started 1997 in German language and takes place twice a year in German and English language since 2005. This time again there was a very interested group of participants, who seemed to enjoy the 3 resp. 4 days a lot. For the first time, the 4th day was lectured by Dr. Christian Möllmann … Continue reading
Finally the iron railings have been installed and the living is safer :-)
8 weeks of “Chemical Process Development” are over
8 weeks full day teaching and workshops are over, from my POV very successful 🙂 This year we had very interesting design projects again. I will add the reports and slides later when available. 2016 01 – Economic Recovery of Biobutanol and Its Conversion to Higher Value Products Within the world-wide effort to use renewable … Continue reading
Part of the ChEPS Faculty at KMUTT
I am proud to say I am now part of the faculty at ChEPS-KMUTT. For a long time I was aware of the impressive activities of the director Dr. Hong-Ming Ku (see picture below). The Chemical Engineering Practice School (ChEPS) at KMUTT was implemented in cooperation with MIT and sponsoring by public and industry and … Continue reading
5 days in Rome

Soon going back to our Thai home :-)
We will be happy to spend May and June at our Thai home in Dankwian. For all our friends, here are some recent impressions: Â
Master Course “Chemical Process Development” at the University of Oldenburg
This years course “Chemical Process Development” was very full and successful. 27 participants completed 12 design projects. For the first time I gave this course in the English language and had a first foreign student from the group of Prof. Apichat (SUT, Nakhon Ratchasima). After their design projects, 4 students continued the topic abroad, 2 in … Continue reading
New Publication: Measurement, correlation and prediction of isothermal vapor–liquid equilibria of different systems containing vegetable oils
Measurement, correlation and prediction of isothermal vapor–liquid equilibria of different systems containing vegetable oils PatrÃcia C. Belting, Jürgen Gmehling, Rainer Bölts, Jürgen Rarey, Roberta Ceriani, Osvaldo Chiavone-Filho, Antonio J.A. Meirelles ABSTRACT: Thermodynamic properties, in particular vapor–liquid equilibrium (VLE) data, are required for the development of reliable predictive models for systems with fatty compounds. Isothermal VLE … Continue reading
Advanced Training Agreement With a Large Chemical Company
I always felt that my 2 or 3 day courses provide a good start for chemical thermodynamics and physical properties in process simulation. Once the participants start to apply the knowledge, they definitely would benefit from further coaching, which is not available in the current course structure. Now the first large company entered into a … Continue reading
