Process Intensification
Cut emissions, reduce energy consumption, and improve productivity. Artisan has led in process intensification for decades, applying cutting-edge technologies to help clients meet the evolving demands of decarbonization and energy transition.
Process Intensification
What is Process Intensification?
Process intensification (PI) means developing more efficient industrial processes by applying cutting-edge technologies, reducing the number of unit operations required, and minimizing energy use and waste at every stage.
Rather than optimizing individual steps in isolation, PI looks at the entire process and finds opportunities to combine, simplify, and improve, resulting in a smaller footprint, lower operating costs, and a more sustainable operation overall.
Ready to see how PI can improve your process? Our engineers can help.
Key Principles of Process Intensification
Three core principles guide every process intensification engagement Artisan undertakes, from initial feasibility through full commercial implementation.
Integration of Unit Operations
Streamline multiple process steps into one efficient, continuous operation, reducing equipment count, capital cost, and operational complexity.
Use of Novel Reactors
Advanced reactor designs for enhanced performance and efficiency,enabling reactions and separations that conventional equipment cannot achieve.
Continuous Processing
Switch from batch to continuous processing for better process control, improved efficiency, and consistent product quality at every production scale.
How We Do It
Artisan's Approach to Process Intensification.
Integration of Unit Operations
By integrating multiple unit operations into a single streamlined process, Artisan eliminates unnecessary steps and the equipment that goes with them.
- Tailored engineering solutions from upstream processes
- Custom solutions designed around your specific process needs
- Innovation through simulation and pilot testing before scale-up
Miniaturization
Continuous operation reduces the physical footprint of your process, saving space, reducing capital investment, and making scale-up more manageable.
- Continuous operation reduces equipment footprint, saving space and resources
- Rigorous testing ensures equipment meets all operational demands before deployment
Innovative Reactor Design
Novel reactor configurations allow reaction and separation to happen simultaneously, cutting reaction times dramatically and reducing downstream processing requirements.
- Combine reaction and purification in a single continuous step
- Continuous reactors and post-reaction stripping cut reaction times drastically
- Enhanced process control through automated systems
Alternative Energy Sources
Artisan designs heating and energy recovery systems that minimize waste and reduce operating costs, from flexible heating jackets to multi-effect heat recovery configurations.
- Flexible heating jackets designed for minimal energy waste
- Heat recovery through multi-effect systems to maximize energy efficiency
