Efficiency as well as economy of chemical processes can be
increased by integration of reaction and separation in one unit. In
this case e.g. reversible reaction may reach complete conversion.
Well known examples are reactive distillations. But it has to be
taken into account that process integration is not advantages in
any case. An important parameter for process design is the degree
of integration which varies between homogeneous integration,
partial integration with distributed functionalities and
non-integrated sequential processes.
The book gives deep insights into the overall evaluation of
integrated processes as well as development of methods for a
systematic design and optimisation of integrated reaction and
separation processes.. Potentials and the technical as well as
economic limitations for process integration have been identified.
The book covers several case studies of reactive distillation,
reactive extraction, reactive gas-adsorption and chromatographic
reactors which have been investigated from the modelling and
experimental point of view. Based on validated models process
simulation was used to optimize these processes. Following the
concept of integrated process design approaches have been developed
for model predictive control and process optimisation during
production. Another new and very important focus of the book is
systematic synthesis of integrated processes.
Based on the investigation of processes mentioned above as well
as further process simulations heuristic rule and short cut method
have been developed which are used to evaluate the advantages and
disadvantages of a certain process integration and to develop a
favourable process design.
The book presents the latest developments in simulation of
integrated processes as well as new methods of process synthesis
and process control. It shows also the details of experimental
approaches for model validation, determining of model parameters
and measurement techniques. The combination of sophisticated
modelling, optimisation methods and experimental results has not
ben published up to now. Therefore on the book addresses readers
from industry as well as academic research.
