Today, chemical processes are optimised in an incremental approach. The future will challenge us to redesign processes making use of alternative feedstocks, new conversion processes and more integrated systems using the proper separation technology. Optimising the hybrid concept rather than improving individual processes will define the positive outcome of process intensification projects. Success will be measured from the level of productivity increase, resource efficiency, energy consumption decrease, improved product purity, increased recycling rates, etc.
By integrating membrane-based technology, VITO focuses on developing viable new technologies and products that make process intensification pathways technically and economically viable.
VITO applies innovative separation and conversion expertise on chemical and biochemical industrial processes, both for downstream processing as well as integrated in conversion processes.
We develop innovative processes, test them from lab to pilot scale, and support customers to full-scale implementation.
Join-in on this one-day event and become inspired by the cases and opportunities we bring on how to implement process intensification in the manufacturing facilities of the future.
