Development of an Undergraduate Process Safety Laboratory

化学与生化工程系正在采购设备，以开发一个本科过程安全实验室。具体地说，该项目支持购买：迷你闪点测试仪、可燃性测试设备、腐蚀研究设备、反应系统筛选工具、通风口大小软件和辅助附件。这些项目可用于实验室实验，以扩展和补充所需的工艺安全课程。该过程安全课程和实验室为开发其他化学工程项目中的类似课程和实验室提供了一个模式，因此可能有助于实现将过程安全作为美国所有化学工程课程的必备组成部分的最终目标。结果可以通过发表在SACHE时事通讯和化学工程教育上的文章来传播，这两篇文章现在都在化学工程教师中享有广泛的读者群。

The Department of Chemical and Biochemical Engineering is purchasing equipment to develop an undergraduate process safety laboratory. Specifically, this project supports the purchase of: a mini flash-point tester, a flammability testing apparatus, corrosion studies equipment, a reactive system screening tool, vent sizing software, and supporting accessories. These items can be used in laboratory experiments that expand upon and supplement the required process safety course. This process safety course and the laboratory are providing a model for developing similar courses and laboratories in other chemical engineering programs and therefore may contribute to what should be the ultimate goal of having process safety a required component of all chemical engineering curricula in the United States. The results can be disseminated through articles published in the SACHE newsletter and Chemical Engineering Education, both of which now enjoy a wide readership among Chemical Engineering faculty.
