Synthesis and Operability Strategies for Computer-Aided Modular Process Intensification

Provides state-of-the-art methodological developments and real-world applications for computer-aided process modeling, optimization, and control, with a particular interest on process intensification systems. Each chapter consists of basic principles, model formulation, solution algorithm, and step-by-step implementation guidance on key procedures.

Sections cover an overview on the current status of process intensification technologies, including challenges and opportunities, detailed process synthesis, design and optimization, the operation of intensified processes under uncertainty, and the integration of design, operability, and control. Advanced operability analysis, inherent safety analysis, and model-based control strategies developed in the community of process systems engineering are also introduced to assess process operational performance at the early design stage.
