 Integration in Chemical Process Design

07/10/2024
Integration refers to the systematic incorporation of energy and material flows
between different unit operations within a chemical plant.

 Benefits of integration:
 Energy efficiency: Minimizing energy consumption and waste generation.

 Cost reduction: Optimal use of resources and improved overall plant

performance.

 Environmental sustainability: Reducing emissions and environmental

impact.
