Model-based development of optimal reaction concepts for plant wide process intensification

A process synthesis-intensification method for generation of novel and intensified solutions

“…PI has been defined from many perspectives, it has been classified in terms of approaches [27], categorized into different domains [28] and spanning across various scales [24]. As in process synthesis, the PI solution approaches are also classified in terms of a) heuristics or knowledge based [6,[29][30][31], b) mathematical optimization based [14,[17][18][19][32][33][34][35][36] and c) hybrid approaches [23][24][25][37][38][39][40]. So far, many definitions have been proposed for PI, yet none has been uniquely recognised.…”

Computer‐aided process intensification: Challenges, trends and opportunities

“…Other topics not considered in this perspective paper but could be of interest to the reader are, intensified equipment selection, CFD modeling integrated with process synthesis and optimization, technoeconomic analysis of a specific PI alternative, and optimal reaction concepts for plantwide PI …”

Sustainable solutions by integrating process synthesis-intensification

“…These generally concentrate on narrowing down the search space to reduce the size of the problem by removing redundant alternatives. Examples of hybrid approaches are Freund and Sundmacher, (2008), Peschel et al (2012) and Seifert et al (2012) intensifying a section of process while Lutze et al (2013), and Tula et al (2017) have reported multiscale methods to intensify the whole or a part of the process.…”
