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. No other comprehensive reference is available on this hot topic or offers the practical tools to reach out to a wide base of professional and academic engineers who are engaged in systematically addressing efficiency of chemical reaction engineering in a cost-effective manner. Covers hot and high growth topics, including emission prevention, sustainable design, and pinch analysis World class authors: Colin Ramshaw pioneered PI at ICI and is widely credited as the father of the technology.
