Practical Process Intensification from Chemistry to Engineering

Technical Scope 

The course aims to communicate the principles of process intensification, provide recommendations for process design and implementation, enable participants to apply these principles and recommendations to their PI processes/problems, enable participants to discuss specifications for the selection and operation of PI equipment from an independent standpoint.

Day One outlines the basic principles, emphasises the importance of the chemistry, heat and mass transfer to these processes and puts forward the business perspective for PI implementation. A case history illustrates how the PI has been applied and what was gained from the process.

 
Day Two introduces the PI methodology and the ‘tool kits’ of laboratory and process plant knowledge specific for PI implementation. Delegates will see how problems can be solved with a range of different equipment types from the traditional to those which push the boundaries of mixing and heat transfer capabilities. Once again the day’s work is interspersed with case histories, worked examples and practical exercises.
