What is the primary purpose of process integration in chemical process design?

• To enhance individual unit operations

• To optimize the interaction between different unit operations

• To increase the complexity of the process

• To design new equipment

What is a common reason for choosing a retrofit approach over a new design?

• To lower the capital investment required

• To increase the total process complexity

• To achieve a higher production capacity

• To create a completely new process flow
