The Future of Manufacturing: Redefining the Unit Operation Process for a New Industrial Era
Sustainability:
The push for "new" processes is driven by three main factors: Reducing energy consumption and waste.
- Heat Exchange: Using shell-and-tube or plate exchangers to heat or cool process streams. This includes conduction, convection, and radiation principles.
- Evaporation: Concentrating a solution by vaporizing the solvent.
- Condensation: Turning a vapor into a liquid, often used in distillation overheads.
Classic PID loops are replaced by model predictive control (MPC) and reinforcement learning algorithms. A new crystallization unit, for instance, can autonomously change cooling profiles to maintain desired crystal morphology despite variations in impurity levels. unit operation process new
