During the late 1890s, bicycles were the worldwide focus of invention and technical innovation, much as biotech engineering and computers are today. We owe iiiaiiy ot today s industrial maiiutacturing processes, designs for bearings, axles, and gearing mechanisms,... 

All this means that the priorities in process design are likely to differ significantly, depending on whether a process is being designed for the manufacture of a commodity, fine or specialty chemical. In commodity chemicals, there is likely to be relatively little product innovation, but intensive process innovation. Also, equipment will be designed for a specific process step. On the other hand, the manufacture of fine and specialty chemicals might involve ...

Capital cost was to be minimised by use of innovative but proven process design. 

There should be an oral presentation towards the end of the semester to the management (which is your classmates, the professor, and the invitees) on your business plan for a proposed new product on the innovative product idea, on market and technology analysis, on the financial and environmental analysis, and on your recommended action. Be prepared to answer searching questions from your management, and to hear constructive comments intended to improve your research, your analysis, your recommendation, and your presentation skills. If time permits, it would be useful to take all the comments and constructive suggestions into consideration, and make a second oral presentation. The product design project concludes with the submission of a written report, which would be in parallel with the traditional process design project.

Innovative process designs are being developed to reduce the size of the membrane unit and the energy needed to separate, condense and inject the carbon dioxide. It seems possible to reduce the energy consumption of the membrane process to about 20-25% of the power plant output. If this work is successful and these membrane plants are built, this application will dwarf all other gas-separation membrane processes. 

However, technological advances related to the development of new membranes operations and innovative strategies of process design, have partially overcome this limitation. Membrane distillation, for example, is not subject to osmotic-pressure limitation and can be therefore employed in integrated systems when high permeate recovery factors or retentate concentrations are requested. 

Multiscale modeling can reduce product costs through innovations in material, product, and process designs. 

Much has been written over the years on how to create the correct climate in which creativity and innovation will flourish. A great deal of this material is of an academic nature and tends to dwell on abstract themes rather than concrete ones. Section C, whilst not ignoring these intangibles is designed to offer practical advice on the steps which can be taken by an R D Manager, in order to foster a creative climate and to assist the process of innovation. Included is a description...
