Page 318 - Sustainability in the Process Industry Integration and Optimization

CHAPTER 13

Information Sources

and Further Reading

here are various sources of information on optimization and
integration in the process industry. The aim of this chapter is
Tto summarize many of these sources, although their number is
growing rapidly. No such list could be fully comprehensive, but
every attempt has been made to include the most important sources
of information.
The chapter is divided into five sections as follows: (1) general
sources of information, (2) Heat Integration, (3) Mass Integration,
(4) combined analysis, and (5) optimization for sustainable industry.
Within each section, listings are further divided into four groups:
conferences, journals, service providers, and projects. A listing is
repeated when the information is relevant to more than one category;
this makes searching more efficient for users.

13.1 General Sources of Information

13.1.1 Conferences
Conferences that address Process Integration (PI) approaches to
minimizing the use of energy, water, and other resources can be
sorted into three groups. The first group consists of conferences that
are directly related to energy and resource minimization.
• Process Integration, Modelling and Optimisation for Energy
Saving and Pollution Reduction (PRES), organized annually
since 1998, <www.conferencepres.com>
• European Symposium on Computer Aided Process
Engineering (ESCAPE), organized annually since 1992,
<www.cape-wp.eu>
