The article discusses future trends and their implications on separation technologies starting from the main drivers of technological developments. Especially the consequences of the expected energy and raw material change and the increasing international economic competition on process technologies are addressed. Special attention is given to the opportunities of increasing computational power and the availability of high-performance networks for scientific modeling and their use in process industries.

We propose an optimization-based strategy to systematically evaluate trade-offs associated with modular alternatives for the multiperiod design of a chemical processing network. We give a general formulation as a Generalized Disjunctive Program (GDP) and discuss a linearizing reformulation that exploits structure common to modular design problems. By modeling the GDP in the Pyomo algebraic modeling language, we gain access to a flexible set of automatic reformulations and solution algorithms, from which the best tool may be selected to optimize a given model. We apply the design strategy to a set of illustrative case studies, including capacity expansion, bioethanol processing, and heat exchange network design. The results show that the proposed design strategy is able to solve modular design problems and provide general insights on trade-offs between investment and transportation costs in which incorporation of modular facility constructions may or may not prove to be advantageous.

Chemical equipment has to form a robust and efficient process space and was developed over the last centuries to very sophisticated, often highly specialized devices. With the upcoming information technology new opportunities arise with integrated sensors, and advanced control systems. Smart equipment is designed in form of intelligent modules. Furthermore, adaptive and integrated actuators convert the control signals to directly influence the process, thus, they can be described as responsive equipment. This contribution will give an overview of some activities in this field.
