The process integration of these components and of extensive process changes in industrial systems is also included in the research at the department. Developing methodologies for the optimal use of different techniques to reduce the greenhouse effect is another area which is expected to be of great importance.
Special interest focuses on the use of mixtures.
Studies focus on the process integration aspects of existing industrial systems, while taking local restrictions into consideration. Process integration in connection with large changes in the pulp and paper industry, such as black liquor gasification and closure of the bleaching plant, is also studied.
