Process Integration

Initially, activities in the area had general and rather diffuse goals. During recent years, however, work has been streamlined towards the development of combinatorial mehtods for the synthesis of process networks for continuous processes and batch processes, the combination of process-integration techniques and simulation methods, and case studies of a limited number of types of industrial plants (brewery, dairy, textile factory, malting factory, fertilizer manufacturer, sugar factory). A major part of these latter activities are undertaken in connection with an agreement of cooperation with Lithuania, funded by the Ministry of Energy.
