Process intensification (PI) is a chemical and process design approach that leads to substantially smaller, cleaner, safer and more energy-efficient process technology. A hot topic across the chemical and process industries, this is the first book to provide a practical working guide to understanding and developing successful PI solutions that deliver savings and efficiencies. It will appeal to engineers working with leading-edge process technologies and those involved research and development of chemical, process, environmental, pharmaceutical, and bioscience systems. * Shows chemical and process engineers how to apply process intensification to their system, process or operation * A hard-working reference and user guide to the technology AND application of PI, covering fundamentals, industry applications, supplemented by a development and implementation guide * Leading author team, including Professor Colin Ramshaw, developer of the HiGee high-gravity distillation process at ICI, widely credited as the instigator of PI principles

This book will provide researchers and graduate students with an overview of the recent developments and applications of process intensification in chemical engineering.
It is addressed to graduate students as well as professionals to help the effectively application of Process Integration and Intensification in plant design and operation.
As well as detailing technologies, the book focuses on safety, energy and environmental issues, giving guidance on how to incorporate PI in plant design and operation -- safely, efficiently and effectively.
The first part of the book is devoted to the study of sorption processes based on active mechanisms, including ultrasonic, microwave, high-gravity, electrical and magnetic fields, while the second part covers passive mechanisms like ...
This book covers the ‘hard’ elements of design, modelling, and experimental validations and the ‘soft’ elements, values of engineers, interests of stakeholders and beliefs of society.
In addition to topics like the use of multivariant data analysis, regulatory concerns, and automation processes, the book also includes: Thorough introductions to capacitance sensors to control feeding strategies and the continuous ...
