Sustainable Product-Process Engineering, Evaluation & Design (http://www.pseforspeed.com/) PSE (Process Systems Engineering): Use of a systematic approach to problem solving! CAPE (Computer Aided Process Engineering): Use of computer aided and systematic approaches to solve process engineering problems! Scope & Significance of PSE/CAPE is potentially very large and depends on the application range of the developed solution approaches. Takamatsu (1982), Sargent, ….

Is our future sustainable? The challenge facing us We convert resources to products we need Use energy, water, …. Cause negative environmental Impacts Only 25% converted to useful products; the rest are waste Produce (we must be to get > 40% useful products) Driolli 2007 waste Sustainable Product-Process 9 PSE for SPEED, Company Presentation, Version-1 Engineering, Evaluation & Design
The choices we need to make 1. What is the role of manufacturing and product companies – that is, “commodity” industry vs. “new emerging” technologies? Value preservation vs. Value creation 2. What is the future scope for fundamental contributions? Engineering vs. Science 3. What are the major real world challenges Globalization, energy, environment, health Sustainable Product-Process 10 PSE for SPEED, Company Presentation, Version-1 Engineering, Evaluation & Design
PSE for SPEED: : A new company Mission Apply systematic computer aided methods and tools to provide sustainable solutions for a wide range of problems of industrial relevance and research significance, reliably, efficiently and very rapidly Vision • Novel, innovative, & sustainable solutions can be found for well- known as well as new chemical processes-products through the appropriate use of models, methods, tools and experience. • To reach defined goals, corresponding targets that will lead to more sustainable alternatives, must be achieved. • A “win - win” solution for all parties concerned.
