The transfer of Know-How between University and Industry is a continuous concern within
the group. This co-operation is carried out in several ways, but predominantly:
 | through co-operative M.Sc. and Ph.D. project work, in topics
directly related to production problems and/or expected future developments for the
production lines, and |
| in the form of development of software tools for modelling,
optimisation and computer-aided process operation. |
Where we can interact
The most important co-operation areas for R&D and for Consulting are the following:
| Process Simulation. The use of models for the analysis of process
behaviour. |
| Process Optimisation. The application of robust optimisation packages
in finding global optima for process design and process operation.
|
| Process Monitoring. Development of software tools for data storage,
pre-processing and visualization of relevant process variables directly measured or
indirectly measured by means of software sensors. |
| Process Control. Development of special purpose algorithms and software
for process control. |
| On-line Optimising Control.
A new line of work - a supervisory
control technique that forces the process to run through pre-defined productivity or
product quality operating paths.. |
Some of our experience of the recent past
| Modelling and operation of evaporation and crystallisation processes |
| Modelling of precipitation processes |
| Design and optimisation of air pollution control devices |
| On-line bioreactor optimisation, |
| Monitoring and multivariable control of industrial ovens |
| Laboratory Data Treatment |
