5. INTRODUCTION
Process intensification integrates chemical research and
development with engineering to drive innovation and
maintain profitability amid growing uncertainties.
Process intensification consists of the development of novel
apparatuses and techniques.
The whole field generally can be divided into two areas:
process-intensifying equipment.
process-intensifying methods.
7. INNOVATION OPPORTUNITY
WITH CHEMICAL INDUSTRY
Innovative way of increasing the efficiency of the
product and reducing cost
Chemical Synthesis.
Apparatus Technology.
Plant Environment.
10. METHODS
Methods to perform process synthesis as
well as process intensification have been
classified into heuristic (and knowledge-
based), mathematical optimization, and
hybrid methods.
Heuristic
Mathematical optimization
Hybrid
13. CASE STUDY:STATIC MIXER
o Mixing operations are essential in the chemical
industries.
o Static mixers are now in widespread use in the
chemical and petrochemical industries to perform
continuous operations.
o The mixing efficiency is a decisive criterion for the
process performance, as it determines heat and
mass transfer rates, process operating time, cost
and safety, as well as product quality.
o The most common use of static mixers in industry
is blending of two or more miscible fluids, or a
reacting mixture is blended to eliminate
concentration gradients that would arise in empty
tubes.
16. CONCLUSION
Process Intensification (PI) is gaining significant
attention for its potential to address current
challenges in the chemical process industry.
Engineers play a crucial role in translating the
promises of PI into practical solutions by designing
new intensified processes
Despite the advantages offered by Mathematical
Programming, several challenges persist, including
the complexity associated with finding global
solutions to Mixed-Integer Nonlinear
Programming (MINLP) synthesis problems.
