Process Intensification
Process Intensification
The Process Intensification specialisation explores making industrial processes smaller, cleaner, more energy efficient and more productive by smarter use of technology and smarter integration.
It is central to the ongoing transformation and future opportunities of a wide range of established and emerging industries including bulk chemicals, pharmaceuticals, food, agriculture and renewable energy.
This specialisation will teach you how to apply process modelling techniques at multiple scales to develop a comprehensive understanding of real-life production scenarios, how to identify and quantify potential gains in productivity and efficiency under different operating conditions and how to design new chemical engineering equipment harnessing new production methods and technologies.
