Prof.Dr.Ir. Harry Kooijman worked on the development of new structured packings with increased performance for cryogenic air separation and automated design tools for air separation units while at BOC, NJ (now Linde). In 2002 he joined Shell in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, where he developed a reduced entrainment inlet device for high vacuum columns in refining and upstream gas separation, The Schoepentoeter Plus. Subsequently he became one of the global column internals specialists for Shell (covering refining, chemicals, gasification, as well as Floating LNG). Currently he works as a process design engineer to develop new, and to adapt existing separation process line-ups, both in down-stream as well as in up-stream (e.g. Enhanced Oil Recovery and Carbon Capture). In his role as part-time research professor at Clarkson University he develops new models for industrial separation processes as well as physical transport property models. He is co-author of ChemSep, a CAPE-OPEN compliant rate-based column simulator licensed to 100+ universities and various petro-chemical industries.

Publications
Reference books:
- 'Recommended test mixtures for distillations'
by F.J. Zuiderweg, 1st Edition, 1969 - 'Recommended test mixtures for distillation columns'
U. Onken and W. Arlt, 2nd Edition, 1990
new Standard VDI 2761: 'Standard systems for Absorption'
Description:
The standard VDI 2761 part 2 describes the measurement of fluid dynamics and the experimental investigation of mass transfer parameters as well as the determination of the effective phase interface for absorption and desorption processes. The method is used to determine the characteristic properties of random and structured packings in test columns at pilot plant scale.
Furthermore, model-supported calculation methods for test evaluation for the determination of volumetric mass transfer coefficients on the gas and liquid side are presented. In addition, the separate determination of the gas- and liquid-side mass transfer coefficients and the effective phase interface is described on the basis of a rigorous model approach. This separate determination of the above-mentioned parameters of mass transport enables an improved implementation in a process simulation software. Finally, information on the technical design of packing columns based on measurement and simulation is given, so that important hints for the uncertainties to be considered can also be taken into account for the application in practice.
The book on Reactive and Membrane-Assisted Separations edited by Philip Lutze and Andrzej Górak was published by De Gruyter at the end of July 2016. The book presents strategies for improving fluid separation such as reactive distillation, reactive absorption and membrane assisted separations.
