Fossil feedstocks are losing ground in favour of renewable  feedstocks 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 operations are more and more  frequently encountered. The continuing impressive progress being made  in process modelling and control will revolutionize the process  industries. \u003cbr\u003e  In the new generation of chemical production processes the keyword is  \u003cem\u003eprecision\u003c\/em\u003e. Precision in terms of selectivity and of efficiency,  is required to maximize the utilisation of materials and energy.  Moreover, enhanced precision is needed to exploit the quality of  materials and energy to the full extent. Only by reducing the  squandering of materials, energy and quality will a harmonious  relationship be established between the process industries, the  economy, and the environment. Process integration, as well as an  integrated effort by the disciplines involved in process technology,  will be of crucial importance in attaining the goals of precision  process technology. \u003cbr\u003e  These emerging strategies involve an active exchange of tools and  ideas between a variety of disciplines, not only in plant design and  operation, but even more in the early stages of process development  and design. By looking from various angles at what the future has in  store for the process industries, this volume systematically lifts the  corners of the veil and may inspire to establish a new tradition of  precision in process technology. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2013-10-05\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9789401047722\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-94-011-1759-3\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 734\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44398801092748,"sku":"9789401047722","price":49.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9789401047722.jpg?v=1755444406","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9789401047722","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
