Due to the fast development of the market in the chemical industry, more flexible and efficient equipment is obligatory. High-gravity contactors in form of Rotating Packed Beds (RPBs) have the potential to meet these needs since they offer an enhanced mixing by imposing centrifugal forces resulting in an intensified mass and energy transport. With the rotational speed as an additional degree of freedom, RPBs offer faster start-up times and an enlarged operating window. Despite the increasing scientific work in the areas of experimental investigations and modeling, industrial applications are still limited due to a lack of reliable methods for scale-up and design. In respect to the latter, this work presents a nested superstructure approach for the optimization-based design of RPBs with zickzack packings that is further demonstrated for the dehydration of methanol.
