The increasing demand for materials, energy and products drives chemical engineers to propose new solutions every day able to promote development while supporting sustainable industrial growth. Membrane engineering can offer significant assets to this development. Here, the most interesting aspects of membrane engineering in strategic industrial sectors such as water treatment, energy production, and depletion and reuse of raw materials are identified. The opportunity to integrate membrane units with innovative systems to exploit the potential advantages derived from their synergic uses is also emphasized. The analysis of the potentialities of these new technologies is supported by the introduction of process intensification metrics which provide an alternative and innovative point of view regarding the unit performance, highlighting important aspects characterizing the technology and not identified by the conventional analysis of the unit performance.
