The PSE Model-Based Innovation Prize

Guidelines

The judges will favour entries that make substantial use of gPROMS in achieving one or more of the following:

  • focus on novel areas of process and related technology – for example, hydrogen storage, solar panel manufacture, etc.
  • focus on novel approaches to traditional process areas – for example, heat-integrated distillation columns.
  • bring simulation and modelling to process areas where they are not currently applied systematically – for example, fermentation and other biotechnology processes, solids handling, etc.

    Michael Georgiadis is Associate Professor in the Department of Engineering Informatics at University of Western Macedonia, Greece and Honorary Research Fellow at Imperial College London.

  • represent a step-change in approach to existing applications – for example, design of reactors, crystallisers or other complex equipment.
  • take first-principles models into new areas of application – for example, online real-time optimisation (RTO), non-linear model-based predictive control, etc.
  • focus on novel areas of modelling and optimisation technology – for example, the implementation of new global optimisation methods.
  • focus on novel areas of application for process modelling tools – for example, cell metabolism modelling.
  • focus on applications that have a positive impact on society and the environment.

The decision of the judges will be final and no correspondence will be entered into.

Instructions for authors

Initially you need only submit an abstract. That should be followed by the full publication prior to the closing date.

When submitting the full paper, in addition to the publication itself please provide the following information in order to help the judges make a decision:

  • describe clearly how you used gPROMS during the research covered by the paper
  • list the main features of gPROMS used (for example, dynamic modelling, parameter estimation etc.)
  • list which graphics, figures and tables were constructed using gPROMS or results from gPROMS runs
  • briefly state why you used gPROMS in preference to other software.

Citation

you are encouraged to acknowledge the use of gPROMS in your references. PSE's preferred reference is:
