2015 Spring Meeting and 11th Global Congress on Process Safety

October 28 - November 2, 2012

Process Intensification (PI) is a design philosophy to develop novel apparatuses and techniques to obtain dramatic process improvements, such as a decrease equipment size/production capacity ratio, improvements to manufacturing or processing, reduction of energy consumption, and reduction of waste production. This is accomplished by using novel apparatuses and techniques that significantly enhance heat and/or mass transfer rates, and giving every molecule the same processing conditions. Presentations in this session will discuss both practical and theoretical applications for PI.
