“…Besides the technical challenges mentioned so far, there are numerous challenges for the evaluation of flexibility in chemical processes. In the field of modular plants, it has been shown that measures to increase flexibility can certainly lead to an economic advantage (e.g., 84, 85). Anyhow, for sector coupling by means of PtX processes and for already existing processes in the chemical industry, this assessment is not as clear‐cut.…”

Flexibility receives increased interest in chemical engineering and is discussed as one measure to deal with upcoming challenges for the chemical industry. In this paper, different types of flexibility are presented, and flexibility needs are illustrated. The focus is on the evaluation and classification of available solutions to enhance flexibility. Solutions and future challenges across all length scales of chemical engineering are discussed: from tailored catalyst properties to decoupling of processes by means of storage.

Due to high energy-intensive processes and a dependence on carbon-based materials, the process industry plays a major role in climate change. Therefore, the substitution of fossil resources by biobased resources is indispensable. This leads to challenges arising from accompanying changes of the type, amount and location of resources. At the same time, transformable production systems are currently in the focus of research addressing the required flexibility. These systems which consist of modular production and logistics units offer the possibility to adapt flexibly in volatile conditions within dynamic supply chains. Hence, this work compiles elements for environmental sustainability, which minimize the carbon footprint in the process industry: transformable production systems, the utilization of bio-based resources, carbon dioxide and renewable energy as well as the application of these elements in decentral production networks. Finally, possible use cases are determined based on the combination of these elements through a multi-criteria analysis.

Die chemische Industrie sieht sich mit gravierenden Herausforderungen konfrontiert: Die Einhaltung der Klimaschutzziele, die Auswirkungen der Energiewende und die zunehmende Bedeutung der Kreislaufwirtschaft treffen die gesamte Wertschöpfungskette. Lösungsansätze von der Prozess-über die Apparateebene bis hin zum Einzelphänomen sind notwendig, um die Wettbewerbsfähigkeit dieses zentralen Industriezweigs zu erhalten. In diesem Beitrag werden aktuelle Entwicklungen und zukünftige Handlungsfelder in der Trenntechnik, die für diese Herausforderungen wertvolle Beiträge leisten können, dargestellt.
