Session: Design of Sustainable Processes (2010 Annual Meeting)

Description:

This session invites papers that advance state-of-the-art methods towards sustainable design of chemical processes. The key goals of energy efficient, minimum-emission, economical processes are to facilitate the requirements of global infrastructure, transportation and manufacturing. Applications include innovative sustainability metrics to track the overall progress of multi-scale industrial problem solutions with incomplete data and problem formulations. Optimal design methodologies that pursue the path of sustainable implementations should be discussed. Contributions from industry - even if addressing problems with yet incomplete solutions- as well as projects emanating from industrial-academic cooperations are especially encouraged.
