Enabling Process Innovation through Computation: Focus on Optimization I

This session will focus on the use of simulations to optimize complex processes in the chemical and energy industries. The goals of this session are to review the current state of the art and bring together practitioners from industries, developers of such advanced simulation tools, as well researchers from Universities and government laboratories. In addition to optimization, such insight can be used to conceive, design, troubleshoot, and build new generations of devices to improve process operations and efficiencies, saving a significant amount of energy consumed in these operations.
