INFORMACION PARA REALIZAR UN
PROYECTO DE INGENIERIA
(consejos prcticos, referencias bibliogrficas y referencias a unas pocas paginas web muy
importantes)
Hay que consultar una gran variedad de fuentes. En esta etapa suelen ser
tiles las enciclopedias y las patentes. Si dispone de bases de datos como el
chemical abstracts esto tambin puede proporcionar detalles tiles.
Otra fuente buena de parmetros de diseo son las patentes. En paginas web como www.uspto.gov
las mismas son accesibles para todo el pblico. Cuando se realiza una bsqueda puede que
encuentre gran cantidad de patentes relacionadas con determinado proceso.
Algunas no tienen el menor valor, lo mejor es centrarse en las patentes de las grandes compaas, y
leer los resmenes. Las patentes son primeramente documentos legales y en general son difciles
de leer. Lo mas til son los ejemplos, que aparecen al final, de all se pueden ver los flow sheeet,
composiciones, temperaturas.
De aqu pueden inferirse las conversiones y tener una idea de las velocidades de reaccin. Los
datos que presentan suelen ser obtenidos a escala banco, y excepcionalmente a escala piloto o
escala completa.
Debe tenerse en cuenta que no todos los ejemplos presentados en la patente son los que la
empresa utiliza, y que pueden faltar partes vitales del proceso que son mantenidas en secreto por la
empresa.
