Process modelling environment links with CFD
Process Systems Enterprise has released a novel tool that allows users of computational fluid dynamics packages to model complex reaction systems in its gPROMS process modelling environment.
The university founded the influential UNIAK consortium and its successor Cryscode projects, co-sponsored by international process companies such as DuPont, DSM, BP, Basf, Bayer, Dow Chemicals, Akzo Nobel, Ajinomoto, Solvay and Purac Biochem.
It has also been a leading member of a number of European projects such as Sinc-Pro, which demonstrated the applicability of model-based predictive control (MPC) techniques to crystallisation processes.
gPROMS is used throughout the chemical and other process industry sectors for optimisation of design and operation of process plants and to accelerate innovation.

Fuel-cell modelling and optimisation solutions
Process Systems Enterprise will launch its advanced fuel-cell modelling and optimisation solutions at the Eighth Grove Fuel Cell Symposium in London from 24th to 26th September 2003.
TUD and PSE will collaborate in the area of crystallisation research in general and the application of process and product modelling to crystallisation processes in particular, in order to maintain and extend their respective leading positions in these areas.
PSE will provide TUD with gPROMS licences, as well as the gPROMS Advanced Model Library for Solution Crystallisation and extended support.
In return, TUD will provide PSE with early information on published crystallisation research, including knowledge, data and models, and feedback on the crystallisation library.
PSE will become a member of the Cryscode consortium and other TUD initiatives in the area of crystallisation process and product modelling.
Dr Herman Kramer, Associate Professor at TU Delft says "Crystallisation processes are very complex".
"In order to improve their performance we need advanced modelling tools, to enable easy development and validation of rigorous process models that allow accurate predictions about how the system will behave on scale-up and in response to changes in operation".
"It is also important to have a single environment that allows easy incorporation of laboratory data into models".
Professor Costas Pantelides, Managing Director of PSE, says "This is a major step, both in our aim to become the leading provider of crystallisation modelling technology and services to industry, and in our programme to forge alliances with leading universities around the world in our domains of interest".
