Process intensification : engineering for efficiency, sustainability and flexibility / David Reay, Colin Ramshaw and Adam Harvey.

Process intensification (PI) leads to a substantially smaller, cleaner, safer and more energy efficient process technology. For example, the scale reduction made possible by using high gravity fields to separate liquids has seen the reduction of distillation columns from 75m to a four of five metres...
