This book provides engineers with the necessary information to design sustainable processes, products and value chains. It describes the current consensus on sustainable development for four context levels: Planet, Society, Business, and Engineers. It also presents all required design steps: from problem definition, via synthesis of potential solutions, analysis of solutions, improvements to the final solution evaluation. For each design step, methods and guidelines are provided in relation to the goal of obtaining a sustainable solution; a solution that meets both the needs of people and all specific context constraints with regard to the planet and prosperity.

This book will help industrial process innovators in research, development and commercial start-up to assess the risks of commercial-scale implementation and provide them with practical guidelines and methods to reduce the risks to acceptable levels. The book can also be used in co-operation with industrial R&D people and academic researchers to shape open innovation programs and in education as a reference book for process innovation courses. Offers easily accessible, step-by-step, and concise guidelines for industrial process scale-upExplains each stage of the innovation funnel: research, development, demonstration, commercial implementation for any process type and branchBased on industrial experiences and practices, which reduces the risks of commercial scale implementation of new processes to acceptable levels and reduces cost and time of process innovationVery clear, attractive layout, using text boxes that contain clarifying notes and additional information on specific topics, which makes it a quick reference of main subjects and additional information

Industrial Process Scale-up: A Practical Innovation Guide from Idea to Commercial Implementation, Second Edition helps industrial process innovators in research, development and commercial start-ups assess the risks of commercial-scale implementation, also providing them with practical guidelines and methods to reduce the risks to acceptable levels. In addition, the book can be used in cooperation with industrial R&amp;D people and academic researchers to shape open innovation programs, and in education as a reference book. This updated edition has the latest literature and has been expanded with a scale-up of pharmaceutical processes and their history in both academia and the process industries.

Industrial innovation can be tremendously accelerated by incorporating design activities throughout the innovation process to drive projects from early-stage idea generation to commercial implementation. Innovation projects must be effective and efficient. Effective means that a need is fulfilled. Efficiency means that the novel product and/or technology require minimal resources and that the innovation project is carried out with minimal effort, time, and cost. These innovation projects can only achieve all these goals by having trained and experienced people skilled to execute innovation projects. Trained people are recruited from universities and have completed the appropriate programs and courses. Product and Process Design: Driving Innovation by authors Jan Harmsen, Andre de Haan, and Ir. Pieter Swinkels focuses on the importance of design in all innovation stages for both processes and products and also how to perform these designs. The authors apply these in detail on life cycle, value chain, industrial implementation, processes, unit operations, chemistry, equipment and operations toward sustainable processes and products. This text provides a practical guide for all R&amp;D people on how to innovate in the chemical industry.

This Multiphase Reactors book is about fundamentals, selection, design, development (scale-up) and applications of two- and three-phase reactors. It is a graduate textbook focused on creating understanding of the fundamentals, as much as possible without resorting to mathematics. It also is full of real-life industrial applications and examples from the authors' own experiences. The target audience comprises students and industrial practitioners who may or may not have had formal training in chemical reaction engineering. Each chapter explains the subject and contains take home messages, examples, worked out cases, quiz questions, and exercises.
