There are two interesting global trends to watch in chemical process engineering. In Europe, land is scarce and there is a strong commitment to process intensification. This has led to the development of micro-reactors which are extremely small (volumes of the order of micro-litres). In the global commodity chemicals market, economies of scale drive process design and "record capacity" plants are regularly commissioned. These reactor volumes are typically 1 Mega-litre. Two important industries in Canada, oil sands extraction and mineral processing, require some of the largest vessels in the world. These two industries also face difficult problems in multi-phase and partially-miscible multi-component mixing.

在化学过程工程领域，有两个有趣的全球趋势值得关注。在欧洲，土地稀缺，而且对流程集约化有着坚定的承诺。这导致了微型反应堆的发展，微型反应堆的体积非常小(体积约为微升)。在全球商品化学品市场，规模经济推动了工艺设计和“创纪录产能”工厂的定期投产。这些反应堆的体积通常为100万升。加拿大的两个重要行业--油砂开采和矿物加工--需要一些世界上最大的船只。这两个行业还面临着多相和部分混相的多组分混合的难题。
