Selected Papers from PRES'20: The 23rd Conference on Process Integration, Modelling and Optimisation for Energy Saving and Pollution Reduction

Dear Colleagues,

Energy use and emissions should be accompanied by measures for their reduction. This is the focus of the PRES (Conference on Process Integration for Energy Saving and Pollution Reduction) series of conferences, a major annual forum dedicated to the exchange of knowledge and networking. The 23rd conference, PRES’20, will take place as a virtual venue, based in and organized by Xi'an Jiaotong Xi’an University, in Xi’an, Shanxi, 17–21 August 2020 . The conference targets a wide range of topics related to energy supply, conversion, and use, for improvement of the efficiency and sustainability of the concerned activities. Some of the topics include:

• Process integration for sustainable development;
• Process analysis, modeling, and optimization;
• Total site integration;
• Heat transfer and heat exchangers;
• Energy-saving and clean technologies;
• Sustainable processing and production;
• Renewable and high-efficiency utility systems;
• Energy storage;
• Footprint minimization and mitigation;
• Impact and supporting recovery after the COVID-19 pandemic;
• Operations and supply chain management;
• Numerical fluid flow and heat transfer simulation;
• Work and heat exchanger networks;
• Gas turbines and turbomachinery applications.

Following the venue, in collaboration with Energies (MDPI), authors of up to 50 high-quality papers from the conference are invited to submit follow-up articles extending the presented research in a dedicated Special Issue. This opportunity is also advertised on the conference web sites: https://www.pres19.eu/
