Synthesis and Operability Strategies for Computer-Aided Process Intensification

The two-day workshop features a combination of brief lectures, tutorials, toolkit demos, and hands-on sessions.

Using the SYNOPSIS prototype software toolbox, attendees will:

Learn phenomena-based modeling for the conceptual design of conventional and intensified reaction/separation systems
Perform high-fidelity steady-state and dynamic modeling for intensified process systems
Apply advanced model predictive control optimization techniques to overcome operability challenges of highly integrated systems
Obtain hands-on experience to solve real-world industrially relevant engineering problems involving modular process intensification
