Precision Process Technology: Perspectives for Pollution Prevention

New process technology strategies are required to cope with the future. Fossil feedsks are losing ground in favour of renewable feedsks and secondary resources. Conventional processing routes using thermal ‘sledgehammer' techniques are replaced by highly selective (bio)catalytic conversions. The future process engineer is neither allowed to think in terms of unit operations, nor to take for granted the conventional practice of continuous steady state processing. Hybrid systems and transient...
