Abstract
The concept of process intensification (PI) focusses on the creation of safe and compact energy and cost effective technologies and processes for a more sustainable chemical industry. It has let to the development of many innovative technologies and process concepts, which gain increasing interest in academia and industry. While PI provides tremendeous opportunities, it also presents a significant challenge for process engineers, as they have to handle a steadily increasing portfoliot of options during process synthesis, as well as the design of highly integrated process configurations. The current article summarizes recent developments in process systems engineering (PSE) that allow for an efficient and systematic integration of PI concepts in process synthesis and design. It further points out future perspectives and the need for a stronger collaboration between industry and academia in order to bring the developments from PSE and PI into application.
