Process Systems Engineering Laboratory

• subjectSkills

  Research at the PSE-Lab has been conducted since the 1990s. The primary driver for this research is modeling and simulation. This activity relies on a pervasive and extensive use of computers to describe various systems, equipment, processes, and industrial plants. It employs efficient tools, such as numerical analysis, computer algorithms, and programming languages, to implement software that accurately describes the features requiring study, investigation, and analysis.

  In recent years, the scope of modeling has expanded even further, venturing into new spheres of investigation, including the human body, the three pillars of sustainability (economic, environmental, and social), and operator training.

  Over the years, research at the PSE-Lab has evolved and consolidated into three core themes:

  • Modeling, Simulation, Control, and Optimization
  • Dynamic Conceptual Design
  • Industrial Safety

• subjectResearch activities

  The main research areas of the PSE-Lab focus on:
  • Design and management of plants for renewable hydrogen synthesis
  • Integration of renewable energy in industrial processes
  • Mass and energy storage systems
  • Decarbonization of chemical processes (e.g., ammonia, nitric acid, etc.)
  • Evaluation of economic, environmental, and social sustainability
  • Techno-economic analysis of industrial revamping and retrofitting
  • Pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics
  • Analysis and reconstruction of accidental events
