Enterprise-wide sustainability involves aspects from molecular-scale design to macroscale
facilities. Typically, these aspects are treated as independent sub-problems. Maintaining …

Significant progress in the area of simultaneous design and control for chemical processes
has been achieved and various methodologies have been put forward to address this issue …

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 …

The activated sludge process (ASP) is the most widely used biological wastewater treatment
system. Advances in research have led to the adoption of Artificial Intelligence (AI), in …

During the whole of history, distillation has been the most extensive separation method.
Regardless of its flexibility and simplicity, distillation technology is highly energy consuming …

In this paper, several methodologies of integrated design are proposed and applied to the
design of wastewater treatment plants and their control system, focusing on the activated …

Flash distillation is essentially a single stage mass transfer operation. The flash distillation
operation is used in this work to highlight the importance of identifying the zone where a …

In this work the integrated design of the activated sludge process is addressed. The
objective is to determine the best plant parameters and working point that minimize the …

The objective of this contribution is to propose a reliable strategy to solver the problem of
phase equilibrium calculations for non-ideal systems, using the Gibbs free energy …

Design and control are two distinct aspects of a process that are inherently related though
these aspects are often treated independently. Performing a sequential design and control …
