Biomass can become the source for chemicals towards a sustainable production system.
However, the challenges it presents such as the variety of species, their widespread and …

In this perspective paper, we present challenges and opportunities that the chemical,
biochemical and related industries pose to the process system engineering community to …

Optimisation-based design is an established methodology that aims to achieve a globally
optimal solution to a complex process design task by representing it as an optimisation …

This study introduces the logic‐based discrete‐Benders decomposition (LD‐BD) for
Generalized Disjunctive Programming (GDP) superstructure problems with ordered Boolean …

Conceptual process design deals with searching for optimal process flowsheets in a large
design space. Effective approaches benefit from sensible search space restrictions …

This article provides a systematic review of recent progress in optimization-based process
synthesis. First, we discuss multiscale modeling frameworks featuring targeting approaches …

Superstructure optimization is a powerful but computationally demanding task that can be
used to select the optimal structure among many alternatives within a single optimization. In …

Reverse electrodialysis (RED) is an emerging electro-membrane technology that generates
electricity out of salinity differences between two solutions, a renewable source known as …

Plant availability and operating uncertainties are critical considerations for the design and
operation of chemical processes as they directly impact service level and economic …

An existing approach for optimization-based process synthesis with abstracted phenomena-
based building blocks (PBB) is extended by implementing it into a novel MINLP framework …
