Summary:An attempt is presented to define process intensification in relation to the other chemical engineering disciplines, in particular to process systems engineering. It is shown that process intensification is fully in development and, as a consequence, the essential characteristics are subject to debate. The innovative character of process intensification is in nice harmony with the objectives of process systems engineering: a symbiosis between them has high potential.
