Session: Membrane Process Development and Process Intensification

The scope of this session theme ranges from feasibility studies to membrane screening (identifying the best membrane for an application), process intensification, as well as simulations and scale-up. Process intensification is usually implemented through design of new equipment that combines multiple unit operations or the design of new process-intensifying methods. This session includes a focus on the use of membrane reactors to improve process performance in a growing range of applications, including chemical and petrochemical processing, cell culture, water desalination and filtration, and bioseparations. Abstracts are sought that describe new experimental and computational developments in membrane process and membrane reactor fundamentals and applications. Contributions that apply machine learning and artificial intelligence to membrane processes are welcomed. 2023 Sessions that resulted from this theme: Membrane Process Development and Process Intensification: Energy and Decarbonization; Membrane Process Development and Process Intensification: Water, Pharma, and Chemicals.
