Sensitivity analysis. The variation of six system parameter settings, namely membrane loop volume/area (A), product rejection (B), reagent rejection (C), conversion (D), retentate/permeate flowrate ratio (E), and molar equivalents of the excess of reagent (F), and their effects on four process metrics, namely product purity (▪ [%]), solvent consumption (⧫ [kg kg⁻¹]), productivity (▴ [g L⁻¹ h⁻¹]) and equilibrium time (• [h]). The arrowheads on the x‐axes indicate the actual parameter value used for the continuous hybrid process presented in Figure 7 B and Figure 8. For the sensitivity analysis of each parameter, the remaining parameters were kept constant using the same value as for the continuous hybrid process. The excess of reagent (F) influences only the purity process metric.
