Elena, the lead process engineer at the Helios Biofuels plant, stared at the column. "We're losing reflux," she muttered, typing furiously. "Pressure in T-201 is spiking. We have a water hammer in the feed line. If we don't balance this in ten minutes, the relief valves pop, and we vent three million dollars of product into the atmosphere." aspen plus v14
