Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue will focus on process control and intensification, which enable industries to work better, save money, and be more environmentally friendly. As companies are now required to improve their operations and follow stricter environmental rules, these methods are becoming very important.
Process control involves carefully managing factors such as temperature, pressure, and flow to ensure that everything works well and products are of a high quality. With new technology, industries can now observe and adjust these things in real time, making operations more consistent and reducing waste. Process intensification is designed to make complex processes simpler by combining several steps into fewer, more efficient ones. This will reduce the need for equipment, energy, and raw materials, leading to lower costs and a reduced impact on the environment. In industries that use a high amount of energy, improving heat recovery has helped in saving energy and increasing productivity.
For this Special Issue, we invite the submission of articles that look at both process control and intensification, either separately or together. While combining these methods involves challenges, such as dealing with more complex systems, handling data in real time, ensuring safety, and scaling up, they are key to driving innovation. Together, they can enable a more efficient and sustainable future for many industries.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Processes is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
