Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
With the onset of the Corona pandemic, the entire world economy, with very few exceptions, is on its knees. The oil industry in particular has been strongly affected, as evidenced by the unprecedented negative oil prices we have witnessed in the last few months.
Thus, within the framework of this meeting, we are interested in the subject of the rationalization of energy consumption through the optimization, audit, and control of processes. Mainly, our focus is on the different processes, electrification, heating and air conditioning, refining, petrochemicals, gas treatment, pharmaceuticals, food processing, etc., without of course forgetting conventional and new hybrid energy systems in addition to economic models combining fossil and renewable energies.
Based on these ideas, we are inviting authors to submit original research and review papers on a broad range of topics to this Special Issue on “Rationalization of Energy Consumption through the Optimization, Audit, and Control of Processes”. Experimental and modeling works focused on process optimization and energy metering in a wide variety of application fields as well as reviews or technical notes in terms of the synergy between conventional and renewable energy are highly welcome.

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 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
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 monthly 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.
