A new procedure for benchmarking analysis has been developed to evaluate the energy efficiency of a chemical process. Benchmarking is performed to identify process inefficiencies before developing energy enhancement measures. The new procedure combines typ ...
The context of this paper is the use of process measurements to optimize batch processes in the presence of uncertainty. The optimal solution consists of (i) keeping certain path and terminal constraints active and (ii) driving the sensitivities to zero. I ...
The Steel Slit Panel Frame (SSPF) system is a new Lateral Force Resisting System (LFRS) intended for zones of high seismicity. Its main components are: steel beams and columns simply connected, and steel slit panels (SSPs) which provide the strength, later ...
This paper presents a methodology to integrate life cycle assessment (LCA)in thermo-economic models used for the optimal conceptual design of energy conversion systems. It is illustrated by an application to a thermo-economic model developed for the multi- ...
This presentation discusses real-time optimization (RTO) strategies for improving process performance in the presence of uncertainty in the form of plant-model mismatch, drifts and disturbances. RTO typically uses a plant model to compute optimal inputs. I ...
This paper presents an approach for combined mass and energy integration in process synthesis and illustrates it at the production of crude synthetic natural gas (SNG) from lignocellulosic biomass and its separation in a membrane cascade. Based on a genera ...
The nanoscale description of the reaction pathways and of the role of the intermediate species involved in a chemical process is a crucial milestone for tailoring more active, stable, and cheaper catalysts, thus providing "reaction engineering" capabilitie ...
Process intensification is the term which describes an innovative design approach in chemical engineering aiming on a significant increase of the specific performance of chemical reactors and plants miniaturization, of at least an order of magnitude. In ad ...

Today, energy is the driver of the modern society, allowing for transforming raw materials and resources into ``useful'' products and services. Concerns on climate change and resources scarcity together with the increasing importance put on the environment ...
This paper presents a general, practical and operational methodology to improve energy efficiency of processes through a holistic approach. The required methods and tools have been developed based on a systemic approach of process energy integration and en ...
