Scaleable Microstructured Chemical Process Systems

这个项目旨在彻底改变散装化学品的工业生产方式。通过将高度集成的工艺设计与深度工艺强化相结合，我们将为在相对较小的规模上高效和经济的化学工艺技术创造基础。这一发展将重振澳大利亚的化学工业，在改善化学品和燃料供应安全以及减少贸易逆差方面给该国带来巨大利益。这种新型工厂将具有可扩展性，并且没有通常与工厂规模扩大相关的技术风险。在最小的规模上，它将是可移动的，能够利用远程和分散的原料，如搁浅的天然气、煤层气或沼气。

This project seeks to revolutionize the way bulk chemicals are made industrially. By combining highly integrated process designs, with profound process intensification, we will create the basis for chemical process technology that is efficient and economical at relatively small scale. This development will reinvigorate the Australian chemical industry, with enormous benefits to the country in terms of improved security of supply of chemicals and fuels and reduced trade deficit. This new type of plant will be scaleable and without the technical risk normally associated with plant scale-up. At the smallest scale, it will be mobile and able to utilise remote and dispersed feedstocks such as stranded natural gas, coal bed methane, or biogas.
