Foundations of Sustainable Science and Engineering
Foundations of Sustainable Science and Engineering merge green chemistry and engineering principles, promoting eco-innovative design, efficient resource use, and environmental stewardship to holistically foster sustainable development and safeguard our planet.
Principles of Green Chemistry
Green Chemistry focuses on designing chemical products and processes that reduce or eliminate the use and generation of hazardous substances. By emphasizing resource efficiency, safety, and environmental stewardship, these principles promote innovation and responsibility, enabling industries to meet societal needs without compromising human health or the planet’s future.

The Technology S-Curve for Chemical Development with Sustainability
The "S-curve" in the context of technology refers to a pattern of technology adoption and development that is often described by an S-shaped curve when plotted over time. It's used to explain the typical life cycle of new technologies from introduction to growth and maturity.
Phase 1
Introduction and Fermentation Phase
This is the early stage of a technology. During this phase, performance improvements might be slow, as the technology is still in its infancy and there may be many technical challenges to overcome. The adoption rate is typically low as only early adopters might be interested.
Phase 2
Rapid Growth Phase
Once the technology starts to mature, its rate of improvement and adoption accelerates. This is where the curve becomes steeper. Innovations become more frequent, costs start to decline, and the general population starts to adopt the technology.
Phase 3
Saturation and Stabilization Phase
In this final phase, the technology approaches its potential limits, and improvements slow down. The adoption rate approaches its maximum as the market becomes saturated. At this point, a new technology might emerge, starting a new S-curve.
Why is Conceptual/ Preliminary Process Design Important ?
Conceptual or preliminary process design is a foundational stage in the development of industrial processes and systems. It involves outlining the primary components, process flow, and basic operating conditions without delving deeply into detailed specifications
If the conceptual/preliminary work is not completed properly, the project is in trouble no matter how the subsequent works as detail engineering, construction, and project management are executed perfectly !!!!
A well-executed conceptual design ensures a smoother transition to the scale-up process, where lab-scale or pilot-scale designs are optimized for industrial-scale implementation. Learn more about how scale-up strategies affect project success.
The Chemical Production Plant and its Components
ISBL (Inside Battery Limits)
  • Description 🡪 The area inside the plantwhere the primary processes required to produce the desired products occur.
  • Functionality 🡪 The ISBL area is highlycustomized for each facility, based on the specific processes and technologiesbeing employed.
Inside Battery Limits (ISBL) refers to the core processing area of a facility where raw materials undergo chemical or physical transformations to produce the desired end products. This zone typically includes specialized equipment—such as reactors for chemical reactions, heat exchangers for temperature regulation, separation units (like distillation columns) for purifying or splitting process streams, and pumps or compressors to move fluids and maintain operational pressures.
Learn more
OSBL (Outside Battery Limits)
  • Description 🡪 The area outside the primary process area that supports the ISBL.
  • Functionality 🡪 Provides the necessary utilities, infrastructure, and support for the ISBL operations
Outside Battery Limits (OSBL), on the other hand, encompasses all the supporting systems and infrastructure necessary for the ISBL to function efficiently. These support areas include utility units that supply essential services (such as steam, electricity, and water), waste treatment units that manage and treat byproducts or effluents, control rooms that house monitoring and operational equipment, and storage facilities where raw materials or finished products are held before distribution.
