Abstract

In this chapter, the importance of considering operability and control criteria in the analysis and design of intensified and modular processes is discussed. We first analyze the impact on operability of key factors including: (i) degrees of freedom, (ii) process constraints, and (iii) numbering up vs scaling up. Comparative examples are presented to showcase the pros and cons in intensified/modular systems versus their conventional counterparts from operability and control aspects. Considering different conceptual design stages as synthesis intensification, steady-state design, and dynamic operational optimization, we highlight the need to incorporate different levels of operability considerations. We also stress the importance of a holistic strategy for integrated design, operability, and control of intensified and modular process systems.
