Abstract
Abstract: This paper argues that actuation is overlooked in the process systems area. In the future this situation may well lead to control limitations. It is explained that actuation relies on driving forces which links it to irreversible thermodynamics. The importance and potential of actuation is shown in an (optimal) control setting by examples taken from crystallization, reaction and distillation. Exploiting the potential of actuation implies interaction between the various design stages (operation mode, process and control design). Therefore exploitation is better accommodated by process intensification than by traditional process design. Furthermore process intensification offers new possibilities and challenges for actuation.
