Preface
Today, we are witnessing important new developments that go beyond traditional chemical engineering. Engineers and industrial researchers are working on novel equipment and techniques that potentially could transform our concept of chemical plants and lead to compact, safe, energy-efficient, and environment-friendly sustainable processes. These developments share a common focus on “process intensification,” an approach that has been around for quite some time but has truly emerged only in the past few years as a special and interesting discipline of chemical engineering. Process intensification can be defined as: “Any engineering development that leads to a substantially smaller, cleaner, safer, and more energy-efficient technology.” The application of this concept in process system engineering is most often characterized by a significant reduction in plant volume, production costs, waste generation, and also getting improvements, even in orders of magnitude, on process performance and efficiency including the reduction of environmental pollution problems. In recent years, process intensification has attracted considerable academic i
