Global warming caused by excess carbon dioxide (CO2) emission has been a focus of the world. The development neutral technologies becomes strategic choice for sustainable human society. Integrating CO2 capture and conversion (iCCC) technology can simultaneously convert captured from flue gas into value-added chemicals, which saves great energies expenses incurred in compression transportation processes conventional capture, utilization, storage (CCUS) technology. present review critically...
Process synthesis, integration, and intensification are the three pillars of process design. Current synthesis integration methods able to find optimal design targets configurations when all alternatives known beforehand. intensification, on other hand, combines multiple physicochemical phenomena exploits their interactions create innovative designs. Often times, these designs not beforehand, a phenomena-level representation chemical processes required identify them. This disconnection...
Membrane separation has gained significant interest from the chemical industry due to their compactness, energy efficiency, and modularity. Recent trends in process intensification also emphasizes importance of a more widespread adoption membrane-based processes for cost savings sustainable operation. We present prototype software framework automated design, optimization, intensification, benchmarking, technoeconomic analysis various types membrane systems, including gas separation,...

We propose a general mathematical model for various process integration problems, involving mass integration, heat simultaneous and property integration. The units, including regenerators/interceptors, mixers, splitters are represented using blocks. blocks arranged in two-dimensional grid, the arrangement of these gives rise to networks. existence connecting streams between adjacent jump flows among all enables necessary interaction different via material energy flows. size block...
Process intensification (PI) is a design concept that offers innovative solutions for making substantial improvement in terms of cost, energy efficiency, emission, environmental footprint, processing volume, and safety chemical process. Incorporation PI principles at the conceptual stage can pave way more sustainable solutions. However, it not trivial to identify effective pathways considering various trade-offs between multiple conflicting performance metrics. To end, we combine building...
A membrane reactor (MR) combines reaction and separation phenomena in a single unit offers an energy-efficient, cost-effective, compact, modular, sustainable design compared to conventional designs. systematic framework can yield such benefits of MRs increase their adoption the chemical process industry. To this end, we present SPICE_MARS (synthesis intensification enterprises involving membrane-assisted reactive separations), software prototype for conceptual design, simulation, synthesis,...
Hydrogen is an ideal alternative fuel for internal combustion engines due to its fast rate and near-zero carbon emissions. To further investigate the impact of injection strategy on performance under various excess air coefficients loads, experimental methods were employed systematically study timing, pressure, dual injection. The results demonstrate that appropriately delaying hydrogen timing can improve thermal efficiency by up 2.6% reduce NOx emissions equivalent nearly 88%. While...
Fuel gas network (FGN) synthesis is a systematic method for reducing fresh fuel consumption in chemical plant. In this work, we address FGN problems using block superstructure representation that was originally proposed process design and intensification. The blocks interact with each other through direct flows connect its adjacent jump all nonadjacent blocks. external feed streams are viewed as sources the product regarded sinks. An additional layer of added pools when there exists...
We provide a new method to represent all potential flowsheet configurations for the superstructure-based simultaneous synthesis of work and heat exchanger networks (WHENS). The representation is based on only two fundamental elements abstract building blocks. first design element block interior that used splitting, mixing, utility cooling, heating individual streams. second shared boundaries between adjacent blocks permit inter-stream transfer integration. A semi-restricted boundary...
Gas-solid injectors are widely used feeding equipment in pneumatic conveying systems. The performance of a gas-solid injector has significant influence on the type application it can be employed for. To determine key factors influencing injection and address clogging problems during process, particle trajectory model been utilised as means to perform simulations. In model, gas phase is treated continuous medium dispersed phase. this work, numerical experimental studies were conducted for...
