Industrial Engineering in Chemical Engineering

Ubiquity of Industrial Engineering Principle - Industrial Engineering is applicable to all branches of engineering.

Industrial Engineering - Production and Distribution Unit Cost Reduction through Productivity Improvement.

Productivity improvement is primarily reduction of machine time and operator. So industrial engineers attempt to use maximum possible speed in case of machines and men taking care to produce required quality, upkeep of equipment, comfort, safety and health of operators. For this they develop productivity science of basic engineering processes in all branches of engineering.

Industrial engineering system efficiency engineering.

Productivity and IE in Synthetic Dye and Pigment Manufacturing

https://nraoiekc.blogspot.com/2014/01/productivity-and-ie-in-synthetic-dye.html

Absolute.Za depth filters provide unmatched performance for the chemical process industries. Z.Plex* technology has been used to create a depth filter, which has absolute filtration (99.9% efficiency at the rated micron) and long life. This combination delivers the lowest total operating cost for the most demanding applications in the chemical process industries. A leading manufacturer of ink jet dyes trialed Absolute.Za in their manufacturing process. The company was looking for improved productivity, faster processing and lower total operating cost, while maintaining their customers’ quality requirements. The manufacturing process was a batch operation, which included over 350 different ink dye formulations. Organic solvents used were primarily ketones. Absolute filtration at 0.5 micron was required for ink quality.

Production and purchasing management viewed the performance and cost savings of switching to the Absolute.Za as an "easy decision," and initiated the required steps to implement its use.
