Process Intensification

Engineering for Efficiency, Sustainability and Flexibility

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Process intensification is a process design philosophy that improves process flexibility, product quality, speed to market and inherent safety, with a reduced environmental footprint. For example, using high-gravity fields to separate liquids (an early PI development) has made possible the height reduction of distillation columns from 75 meters to 4 or 5 meters. This is the first book to provide a practical working guide to understanding PI and developing successful PI solutions and applications in chemical process, civil, environmental, energy, pharmaceutical, biological and biochemical systems. It will be of value to audiences looking to take current technologies into new areas as well as those looking to further its use in the chemical engineering sector.
