Large-Scale Production

Synopsis: To remain profitable the chemical industry must produce a huge variety of products in immense quantites at high efficiency, all of which requires careful integrated planning of the large-scale manufacturing plant, recycling of by-products and the right chemical route for the desired products. Looks at a new process developed by Shell to manufacture gasoline and aviation fuel (kerosene) from natural gas. Also looks at the production of monosodium glutamate, a flavour enhancer for foods, from molasses.

Notes: NB. As of May 2016 Open University Worldwide are no longer distributing DVDs. They have posted this message on their website: ‘Unfortunately Open University Worldwide Limited has decided that product sales are no longer viable given the reduced funding to Higher Education institutions and diminishing demand for the products we have traditionally stocked. At present the Open University Students Association (OUSA) will continue to sell the "Good Study Guide", and we are in discussion with other possible distributors to continue to make The Open University’s products available for purchase. As soon as we have any information on other channels of distribution we will update this notice’. Some products are still available via second hand dealers on Amazon.co.uk
