摘要: Process innovation can be efficiently enabled by considering it as a holistic procedure, which applies integration—starting from molecules and extending through process tasks, unit operations, plant-wide finally at enterprise level. It is only such comprehensive approach that truly breakthrough innovations are possible realisable in highly competing enormously complex system environment with multiple counter balancing objectives.
