Session: Advances in Process Design II

This session emphasizes recent advancements in understanding, interpretation, synthesis and design of chemical processes to provide economically viable and sustainable solutions. Papers that discuss novel theories, methods, applications, design strategies, incorporation of control or environmental considerations into design process, and non-traditional process design problems will be encouraged. In addition to the traditional mathematical algorithms used for process design and synthesis, simulation-based approaches are also sought. Theoretical, algorithmic and computational methods to address new challenges in both conventional and unconventional feedstocks utilization, agile design, modular design, process intensification are of interest. Papers that emphasize incorporation of techno-economic analysis within the decision process for design selection are desired. The contribution of the paper to the state-of-the-art should be clearly stated in the abstract.
