Session: Process Design: Conceptualization and Analysis of Chemical Processes I

This session emphasizes recent advancements in understanding, interpretation, synthesis and design of chemical processes in order to provide economically viable and sustainable solutions. Papers that discuss novel theories and applications, innovative design strategies, incorporation of control or environmental considerations into the design process, and non-traditional process design problems will be encouraged. Novel theories and applications, innovative design strategies, incorporation of control or environmental considerations into the design process, and non-traditional process design problems will be encouraged. In addition to the traditional mathematical algorithms used for process design, simulation-based approaches are also sought. Industrial-based applications are also of particular interest. Papers that emphasize the incorporation of techno-economic analysis within the decision process for design selection are strongly desired. The contribution of the paper to the state-of-the-art should be clearly stated in the abstract.
