This is mainly due to the diversity of operating, scale and boundary conditions as well as due to the significant modelling difficulties. A unified modelling approach is particularly difficult to formulate when a direct account of the process rates (transport and reaction kinetics) is essential, which is common in design and optimisation tasks. Therefore, we suggest an alternative way and present a novel modelling methodology which comprises different specific kinetics-based approaches and combine them in a complementary way. Such complementary modelling is a promising means to support the development of sustainable chemical engineering processes.
