Process Intensification
Process Intensification refers to the approach of making chemical processes more efficient by reducing the size and energy consumption of equipment while increasing productivity. This can involve innovative technologies and methods that enhance reaction rates, improve heat and mass transfer, and minimize waste.
By integrating multiple process steps into a single unit, Process Intensification can lead to significant cost savings and environmental benefits. Techniques such as microreactors, membrane separation, and advanced catalysts are commonly used to achieve these improvements, ultimately resulting in more sustainable and economically viable chemical manufacturing.
