2018 AIChE Annual Meeting

Session: Distributed Chemical and Energy Processes for Sustainability

This session covers topics on distributed chemical and energy processes for sustainability. The focus is small, modular chemical processes that can be distributed geographically to overcome feedstock or product transport limitations. Applications include, but are not limited to, liquefaction of stranded natural gas, biomass conversion to fuels, fertilizer production, and electrical power generation.
