Modular and intensified — Reimagining manufacturing at the energy-chemistry nexus and beyond

Hydrogen sulfide capture and removal technologies: A comprehensive review of recent developments and emerging trends

“…For example, a multiphase reactor using phase transfer catalysis could potentially replace the expensive regeneration column in the alkanolamine-based absorption process and convert dissolved H 2 S to dibenzyl sulfide bypassing the need for a sulfur recovery unit [482]. This could have a huge impact on the overall economics and sustainability of H 2 S removal processes [483]. In this regard, process intensification could lead to multifunctional unit operations and innovative flowsheets in gas sweetening applications, providing promising alternatives to the conventional H 2 S removal strategies [484].…”

Machine learning in energy chemistry: introduction, challenges and perspectives

“…1 Currently, fossil fuels such as coal, oil, and natural gas still dominate the global energy consumption. 2,3 However, the burning of fossil fuels leads to a huge emission of carbon dioxide, which contributes to global warming and has negative impacts on the environment and human health. 4,5 Therefore, it is increasingly important to develop sustainable and clean sources of energy in order to take place of fossil fuels.…”

Comparative Analysis of an Expandable Modular Plant and a Stick-Built TiO2 Plant

“…The competitiveness of future chemical plants will depend on how flexible they are, as the chemical industry faces increasing pressure to be more robust, improve efficiency, reduce costs, and minimize environmental impacts. − Flexibility allows chemical plants to adjust quickly to changes in production demands, raw materials availability, and market conditions.…”
