Process Intensification

Process intensification aims to make chemical processes dramatically more efficient, compact, safer and cleaner.

It rethinks equipment and methods to do more with less.

Techniques and Equipment

Process intensification combines multiple operations into single units, uses novel equipment such as microreactors, spinning disc reactors and reactive distillation, and applies alternative energy sources like microwaves and ultrasound.

The result is smaller plants, lower energy use, higher yields and improved safety compared with conventional large-scale equipment.
