This work presents a comprehensive classification of the different methods and procedures
for integrated synthesis, design and control of chemical processes, based on a wide revision …

Dimethyl ether (DME) is of great industrial interest due to its use as clean fuel for diesel
engines or in combustion cells, as a precursor to other organic compounds, as well as a …

In this work, plantwide control of an absorption/stripping CO2 capture process using
monoethanol-amine was investigated using dynamic simulation. In this system, CO2 …

Catalytic reactive distillation offers new opportunities for manufacturing fatty acid esters,
involved both in biodiesel and specialty chemicals. A key problem is the effective water …

The novel plantwide control (PWC) methodologies are becoming increasingly important as
chemical processes are becoming more and more integrated with recycles for reasons of …

A preliminary evaluation of the techno-economic feasibility of an industrial glycerol
etherification process for bio-additives production has been carried out. The attention has …

By placing together the pieces of the design and control puzzle we developed a novel
methodology that allows the screening and selection of feasible integrated designs at an …

BACKGROUND Di‐n‐pentyl ether (DNPE) is a good candidate for diesel fuel formulations
due to its blending cetane number, good cold flow properties and effectiveness in reducing …

Plantwide control (PWC) methodologies have gained significant importance given the high
and increasing degree of integration in chemical processes due to material recycle, energy …

Design, economics, and plantwide control of a glycerol‐tert‐butyl alcohol (TBA)
etherification plant are presented. The reaction takes place in liquid phase, in a plug flow …
