Julius Schierenbeck
Julius Friedrich Wilhelm Schierenbeck (born February 11, 1888 in Essen , † March 3, 1967 in Heidelberg ) was a German chemical engineer .
Life
Schierenbeck studied with Friedrich Bergius . Schierenbeck worked as technical director for IG Farben from 1927 . There he developed processes for high-pressure synthesis. Schierenbeck invented the winding process, in which a dimensionally stable casing is wrapped in several layers of hot metal tape. This enabled him to make a decisive contribution to the construction of larger and safer high-pressure reactors. Thanks to the more effective monitoring during the manufacture of the belts and the entire apparatus, the previously necessary safety factors when dimensioning the wall thicknesses could be greatly reduced. After the Second World War he lived in Heidelberg.
