Features

Extending the Reach of Modularization and Process Intensification

Not that long ago, the ideas of modular processes and process intensification (PI), and their combination as modular chemical process intensification (MCPI), were familiar only to a small subset of chemical engineers mostly working in the fine chemicals industry.

Renewable Ammonia for a Sustainable Energy Future

Ammonia shows great potential as a renewable energy vector due to its ease of storage and high energy density. Technological advances and policy measures will be critical to enable its wide adoption.

Advanced Preprocessing Systems for Conversion-Ready Feedstocks

The heterogeneous nature of biological feedstocks leads to unreliable and inefficient conversion to final products. Advanced preprocessing, fractionation, and supply systems can mitigate variability.

Biorefinery Separations with Graphene Oxide Membranes

Graphene oxide membranes have opened a new world of possibilities in separations of multicomponent streams in biorefineries.

Advances in Very Small Modular Nuclear Reactors

Micro nuclear reactors have the potential to revolutionize energy generation, but many challenges remain before they can be realistically implemented.
