This comprehensive work shows how to design and develop innovative, optimal and sustainable chemical processes by applying the principles of process systems engineering, leading to integrated sustainable processes with 'green' attributes. Generic systematic methods are employed, supported by intensive use of computer simulation as a powerful tool for mastering the complexity of physical models. New to the second edition are chapters on product design and batch processes with applications in specialty chemicals, process intensification methods for designing compact equipment with high energetic efficiency, plantwide control for managing the key factors affecting the plant dynamics and operation, health, safety and environment issues, as well as sustainability analysis for achieving high environmental performance. All chapters are completely rewritten or have been revised. This new edition is suitable as teaching material for Chemical Process and Product Design courses for graduate MSc students, being compatible with academic requirements world-wide. The inclusion of the newest design methods will be of great value to professional chemical engineers.

The 24th European Symposium on Computer Aided Process Engineering creates an international forum where scientific and industrial contributions of computer-aided techniques are presented with applications in process modelling and simulation, process synthesis and design, operation, and process optimization.The organizers have broadened the boundaries of Process Systems Engineering by inviting contributions at different scales of modelling and demonstrating vertical and horizontal integration. Contributions range from applications at the molecular level to the strategic level of the supply chain and sustainable development. They cover major classical themes, at the same time exploring a new range of applications that address the production of renewable forms of energy, environmental footprints and sustainable use of resources and water.

Brings together researchers and practitioners of computer-aided process engineering interested in modeling, simulation and optimization, synthesis and design, automation and control, and education. This title covers contributions from the international community using computer-based methods in process engineering.

Computer Aided Molecular Design (CAMD) refers to the design of molecules with desirable properties. Through CAMD, one determines molecules that match a specified set of (target) properties. This book presents the theoretical aspects related to CAMD, the techniques that have been developed, and the different applications that have been reported.

Properties of chemical compounds and their mixtures are needed in almost every aspect of process and product design. This book provides a presentation of the property estimation models, as well as guidelines on how to select an appropriate model. It also addresses the problems that users are often faced with.

Assembles research done on modeling of polymeric materials from a hierarchical point of view, in which several methods are combined in a multilevel approach to complex polymeric materials. This book also looks at the strengths and shortcomings of modelling techniques.

Contains 182 papers presented at the 12th Symposium of Computer Aided Process Engineering (ESCAPE-12), held in The Hague, The Netherlands. This work highlights advances made in the development and use of computing methodologies and information technology in the area of Computer Aided Process Engineering and Process Systems Engineering.

Presents the developments in a variety of topics related to the integrated design and control. This book comprises four distinct parts: Process characterization and controllability analysis; Integrated process design and control Methods; Plant wide interactions of design and control; and Integrated process design and control extensions.

Represents the coverage of mass and energy balancing in the process industries. This book provides the treatment of balances in areas such as: systematic analysis of large systems by Graph theory; comprehensive thermodynamic analysis (entropy and availability); and balancing on the basis of measured plant data (data reconciliation).

This volume collects together the presentations at the Eighth International Conference on Foundations of Computer-Aided Process Design, FOCAPD-2014, an event that brings together researchers, educators, and practitioners to identify new challenges and opportunities for process and product design. The chemical industry is currently entering a new phase of rapid evolution. The availability of low-cost feedstocks from natural gas is causing renewed investment in basic chemicals in the OECD, while societal pressures for sustainability and energy security continue to be key drivers in technology development and product selection. This dynamic environment creates opportunities to launch new products and processes and to demonstrate new methodologies for innovation, synthesis and design. FOCAPD-2014 fosters constructive interaction among thought leaders from academia, industry, and government and provides a showcase for the latest research in product and process design.

Detailed mathematical models are being used by companies to gain competitive advantage through such applications as model-based process design, control and optimization. This book covers statistical methods applied to process modelling. It presents examples of applying advanced statistical and modelling methods to real process systems problems.
