What are the Challenges in Implementing Process Intensification?
While the benefits are clear, several challenges need to be addressed:
- Scalability: Transitioning from laboratory-scale to industrial-scale processes can be complex. - Development Costs: Initial investments in new technologies and materials can be high. - Integration: Combining multiple processes into a single unit requires sophisticated design and control strategies. - Material Stability: Advanced materials must maintain their performance over extended operational periods.
