1. Basic physical and chemical processes used in chemical engineering and industry that can be combined to create a complete process. Examples include distillation, filtration, mixing, heat transfer, and separation.
The chemical plant relies on several unit operations including distillation and crystallization to produce the final product.
A planta química depende de várias operações unitárias, incluindo destilação e cristalização, para produzir o produto final.
2. Individual standardized procedures or processes that are independent of the specific material being processed and can be applied across different industries.
Unit operations are fundamental to understanding chemical engineering fundamentals.
As operações unitárias são fundamentais para compreender os fundamentos da engenharia química.
