Innovative & Sustainable

Chemical and Process Analysis, Design & Synthesis

28th August – 1st September, 2017

About The Worshop

Finding novel and more sustainable production systems is an important step towards addressing the grand challenges of energy, water, environment and food currently faced by modern society. Significantly better and/or new processing routes are needed to, just to name a few, convert available resources to useful products, recycle unused material, and reprocess used material, without negatively impacting sustainability of modern society. The synthesis-design of processing routes is receiving increasing attention, not only due to the scope and significance of the problems that it covers, but also because of its industrial relevance. A processing route is a combination of raw materials, a series of processing steps to convert them, and products which they can be converted to; each processing step has various alternatives in terms of processing technologies, giving rise to a superstructure of alternatives. The synthesis-design problem is formulated as a superstructure optimization problem, solved in 3-stages. Stage-1 is the synthesis stage where a preliminary processing route is identified together with interesting alternatives. Stage-2 is the design-analysis stage where a detailed design is performed on the processing route from stage-1. Analysis of the design is performed to identify process “hot-spots” that help to define targets for improvement. Stage-3 is the innovation stage, where new alternative processing routes that match the targets of improvement are identified, thereby leading to innovative and sustainable process design. A computer-aided flowsheet design tool (ProCAFD), which performs the 3-stages innovative sustainable process synthesis, design and analysis in 12 hierarchical tasks will be used.
