Original abstract
Global climate change forces the process industry to increase its effort to further reduce energy consumption, emissions, and waste production, thus leading to a strong push towards sustainability and more efficient use or disposal of the generated wastes. Modern approaches to the integrated and simulation-driven equipment design, based on efficient, up-to-date modelling and experimental techniques, represent a new trend in the development of process apparatuses and technologies. This trend, in turn, contributes significantly to the rethinking of the current and future industrial and process systems. Within this perspective, energy utilisation of wastes (“waste-to-energy”) is discussed, where the processes and equipment tend to feature a much higher level of integration than is usual in other branches or industries. Such modern integrated equipment (MIE) generally offers improved efficiency and multifunctionality (i.e., multiple unit operations are aggregated into a single apparatus).
