Operability and Safety Considerations in Process Intensification

Operability-based Approach for Process Design, Intensification, and Control: Application to High- Dimensional and Nonlinear Membrane Reactors

Process operability was originally proposed as an approach for the design and control of complex chemical processes. This approach has been applied to processes that are described by high-dimensional linear models. For nonlinear systems, an operability-based method for design and intensification of low-dimensional membrane reactor systems has also been reported. However, operability algorithms ...

Process Intensification in Multiphase Reactors

Introduction Applications of multiphase technology are prevalent in petroleum refining, synthesis gas conversion to fuels and chemicals, bulk commodity chemicals, specialty chemicals, conversion of undesired by-products to recyclable products, manufacture of polymers, biotechnology and pollution abatement. In these processes the reactor performance is crucial: it determines the number and size ...

Process intensification in mechanical pulping

Process intensification is a term used in the chemical process industry for major improvements in the process design leading to radical changes in process complexity, equipment size and efficiency. We suggest that a similar approach is applied in the pulp and paper industry. We have focused on the production of mechanical pulp, but a similar approach can be applied to other areas within the pul...
