Mechanical engineering
pyrometallurgy
Engineering; Mechanical engineering
Metallurgy that depends on the action of heat, as smelting.
reactor
Engineering; Mechanical engineering
A vertical vessel containing a catalyst, which in service rearranges the molecular structure and therefore changes the fractions in a process system.
reflux accumulator
Engineering; Mechanical engineering
Generally a horizontal vessel, and without internal parts; when in service it collects and transmits back to a fractionation column the fraction which is processed by the column.
reverse osmosis
Engineering; Mechanical engineering
A process where water is cleaned by forcing water through an ultra-fine semi-permeable membrane, allowing only the water to pass through and retaining the contaminants.
reference power plant designs
Engineering; Mechanical engineering
Fluor's pre-engineered power plant designs that can be customized using innovative design software and integrated collaboration tools.
ripios
Engineering; Mechanical engineering
Previously processed material that contains residual copper.
self perform
Engineering; Mechanical engineering
Fluor provides self-perform construction services to clients rather than subcontracting.
