Alternative methods for energyefficient separationprocesses 2 (AMES2)

This project is a continuation of the project entitled 'Alternative Methods for Energyefficient Separations 1 (AMES 1)', Journal No. 1223/99-0008. The objective of the project is to aid the Danish industry in benefiting from the development currently taking place in terms of separation methods as well as the understanding of such processes. This development primarily consists of improved computational tools, combination of existing processes as well as introducing new methods and processes. As a part of AMES 1, an industrial consortium of four companies was established. The industrial consortium has provided has a provided a dozen energy demanding separation tasks, some of which have multiple scenarios. Because of this overwhelming support from industry, not all the necessary work can be conducted within the limits of AMES 1 with respect to finance and manpower. The separation tasks include a wide range of unit operations, e.g. ion exchange, gasses from gasses, liquid from liquid as well as solids from liquids. These separation tasks are conventionally solved using well known unit operations, e.g. distillation and crystallization. Since those unit operations are very energy demanding the potential energy savings are considerable
