Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Reports of the Progress of Applied Chemistry, 1921, Vol. 6
Owing probably to the general industrial depression, very little Of great interest has appeared during the past year, which seems to have been devoted chie?y to minor improvements in existing plant and to investigations having for their Object the collection of data which may serve as a basis for improving the design, working, and efficiency of various types of chemical plant. There is still room for a great deal of research in this direction and the joint action of the Association Of British Chemical Manufacturers and the British Chemical Plant Manufacturers' Association in forming a Committee to consider the standardisation of chemical plant will, it is hoped, lead to results of great benefit to the industry, not only by rendering various types of plant uniform in design and construction and facilitating output, but also - and this is perhaps more important in some respects - enabling broken parts to be replaced from stock. This would do away with many serious delays to the course of production due to the breakdown of machinery.
