We use PSE's technology to optimise customers’ reactor operation as well as enhance our own catalyst design.

PSE's customers use our technology and services to enhance profitability and gain competitive advantage by optimising the design and operation of their process plants.

We also help them to accelerate innovation and manage technology risk.

We do this by providing high-fidelity predictive models or modelling capabilities that allow development, design and operating decisions to be based on accurate predictions of process performance.

PSE is their company of choice for a number of reasons: our consulting expertise, our world-leading gPROMS® process modelling technology and our collaborative and constructive working approach.

Expertise

There are a number of more everyday reasons why our customer like to work with us:

  • We believe strongly in a collaborative approach. Our preferred way of working is through a small project team of experts from both sides.
  • We invest continually in technology. That is why our gPROMS modelling environment is the leader in its field, and why we are continually pushing the boundaries of modelling.

    • A key factor in choosing gPROMS was the high quality of PSE's support, including the responsiveness, level of expertise and accessibility of personnel

  • We aim for high return-on-investment (ROI). Our preference within PSE Consulting is for short (3 to 6 month) projects that will deliver value quickly.
  • We provide a range of software technology and services that are tailored to the requirements of the customer. Some customers want software and support only; others want pure project services; most are somewhere in-between. We cater equally for all.
  • We work with the people on the inside. We do not attempt to compete with in-house specialists, but rather to work with them to help increase their value to the organisation through adoption of the latest technology and methods.
  • We believe in R&D. We have continual ongoing R&D activity within PSE, and participate in many collaborative R&D projects.
    • PSE Consulting

    generates value through the application of high-fidelity predictive models

  • We work closely with academia. Our academic licensing policy provides low-cost gPROMS licences to universities around the world, ensuring that much of the current process systems-related research underway is performed using gPROMS.
  • We believe in innovation. Our annual €5000 Model-Based Innovation Prize and the awards PSE has received – in particular the Royal Academy MacRobert Award for Engineering Innovation 2007 – are testimony to this.

    • We reduced batch time for lactose manufacture by 44%

  • We are interested in long-term relationships that are mutually beneficial. This means that we will usually 'go the extra mile' in the interests of helping our customers to be successful.
  • We believe in transfer of modelling know-how. Our ModelCare service is aimed at building up our customers' internal modelling capability through on-the-job training, workshops and the transfer of best practice.

Accelerate innovation. Manage risk
