Resource on the control and safety analysis of intensified chemical processes, ranging from general methods to specific applications

Control and Safety Analysis of Intensified Chemical Processes covers the basic principles of and recent developments in control and safety analysis of intensified chemical processes, ranging from dynamic simulations and safety analysis to the design and control of important processes. The text discusses general methods and tools such as dynamic simulation, control and safety analysis as well as design aspects and analysis of important applications in order to provide scientists and engineers with an understanding of the design, control and safety considerations involved in intensified chemical processes.

Sample topics covered in Control and Safety Analysis of Intensified Chemical Processes include:

• Simulation and optimization methods, common programs and simulators for simulation and optimization, and interfacing of simulators and optimizers
• Programs/simulators for dynamic simulation and control, tuning of controllers, and popular criteria for control assessment
• Control of a hybrid reactive-extractive distillation systems for ternary azeotropic mixtures, reactive distillation in recycle systems, and middle vessel batch distillation with vapor recompression
• Safety analysis of intensified processes (e.g. extractive distillation, dividing wall column, dividing wall column with mechanical vapor recompression, and algal biodiesel process)

A comprehensive resource on the subject, Control and Safety Analysis of Intensified Chemical Processes is a highly valuable reference for researchers, students and practitioners interested in process intensification and their applications. The text can be adopted by instructors for use in advanced courses on process control and safety.
