  1. Sustainable, Modular Chemical Production in Africa

    CEP Article | AIChE | The Global Home of Chemical Engineers
    2020 March Paul Yelvington Sipho C. Ndlela Modular chemical process intensification (MCPI) has a unique role to play in the developing world. It can provide a means for sustainable and inclusive chemical manufacturing that reduces reliance on limited natu ...

  2. The Principles and Domains of Process Intensification

    CEP Article | AIChE | The Global Home of Chemical Engineers
    2020 March Andrzej Stankiewicz Apply the fundamental principles of process intensification to the four domains of PI — spatial, thermodynamic, functional, and temporal — to identify possible PI opportunities. Twenty years have passed since the publication ...

  5. Advanced Manufacturing Progress: RAPID Steps Toward Sustainability

    CEP Article | AIChE | The Global Home of Chemical Engineers
    2019 August Dr. David Shonnard Global challenges related to economic development, environmental protection, and social equality — such as conflicts triggered by drought in Africa, toxic chemical releases in India, over-exploitation of resources in the oce ...

  6. Advanced Manufacturing Progress: Intensification of Fast Pyrolysis

    CEP Article | AIChE | The Global Home of Chemical Engineers
    2019 June Robert Brown Fast pyrolysis is one of many processes being developed to convert biomass into advanced biofuels and other energy and chemical products. In fast pyrolysis, biomass is rapidly heated to about 500°C to release volatile compounds that ...

  9. A Building Block Approach to Process Intensification

    CEP Article | AIChE | The Global Home of Chemical Engineers
    2019 March M. M. Faruque Hasan S. Emre Demirel Jianping Li This new approach represents chemical processes as abstract blocks arranged in a two-dimensional grid. Mathematical-programming-based optimization can identify the best design for intensification ...

  10. Introduction to Dividing-Wall Columns

    CEP Article | AIChE | The Global Home of Chemical Engineers
    2019 March Manish Bhargava Anju Patil Sharma A dividing wall can be added within a distillation column to improve separation efficiency of three or more products. ▲ Figure 1. A standard dividing-wall column (DWC) has a wall that separates the column into ...
