Donald A. Dahlstrom

Donald Albert Dahlstrom (1920 - June 2004) was recognized by the AIChE as one 100 prominent chemical engineers of the modern era, for his work on liquid-solids separation,^[1] particularly with respect to the hydrocyclone.^[2][3][4] He was a professor in the Chemical Engineering Department of the University of Utah, and served as President of the AIChE in 1964.

Dahlstrom graduated from the University of Minnesota and gained his PhD (in metallurgy and chemical engineering) from the Robert R. McCormick School of Engineering and Applied Science in 1949.^[5][6] He served in the US Navy then worked for Eimco and Envirotech before taking up an academic post at the University of Utah.^[6]
