Separations play a critical role in the production of wide-ranging products in the chemicals industry. With pressures to produce high-quality chemicals, quickly, efficiently, and with minimal impact on the environment, these separation processes become even more important. Process intensification (PI) offers a new way to approach separations that has the potential for step changes in reducing energy and material use, among other benefits.
This course provides an overview of the current state, as well as future directions, of PI in separation processes in the chemicals industry. Through illustrative examples, you’ll develop a conceptual understanding of PI principles and learn how these can be applied to separations. You will also learn about the role of PI in membranes, and explore examples of intensified membrane processes.
