Agenda

Process Systems Enterprise is pleased to announce the 4th PSE Japan gPROMS User Meeting, to be held at the Yokohama Port Opening Memorial Hall on 11 and 12 September 2008.

Aimed at the leading-edge industries in Japan, the meeting will demonstrate the benefits of advanced process modelling (APM) and showcase the significant enhancements of gPROMS v3.1, the technology leading process modelling environment.

Thursday 11 September – Day 1
12:30 – 13:00 Registration
13:00 – 15:00

Session 1a – PSE presentations
At this session you will hear about the substantial expansion of PSE's worldwide operation, the significant speed, ease-of-use and robustness enhancements of the new generation of gPROMS v3.1, and the application of cutting-edge APM technology in hybrid simulation with CFD.
Yoshiyasu Ishioka
Shigeru Kashiwaya
PSE Japan		 Welcome and introduction
Prof. Costas Pantelides, Managing Director, PSE PSE update: new technologies, new customers, new operations
Following expansion funding last year, PSE is expanding both its technology and its operations around the world. Prof. Pantelides descibes the exciting plans for the PSE Japan operation and explains what this means for the PSE's Japanese customers.
Prof. Costas Pantelides
 What's new in gPROMS v3.1
gPROMS v3.1 is a milestone release that completes the complete re-architecting of gPROMS to provide a modelling platform for the next decade. It also has significant new flowsheeting and display, modelling and numerical solution features, shown here.
15:00 – 15:30 Refreshments
15:30 – 17:30

Session 1b – PSE and partner presentations
At this session, you will hear how the PSE Japan organisation is changing in order to better serve Japanese customers, and learn about how the partnership between PSE and leading-edge technology supplier such as CDAJ can increase the value and return on investment for your modelling work.
Sang Phil Han
President, PSE Korea		 Hybrid simulation – advanced process modelling plus CFD
PSE collaborates with CFD vendors to provide sophisticated software for combined CFD and gPROMS simulations. This brings the best of both worlds to process design and operation. Dr Han, President of PSE Korea, describes typical applications.
PSE Japan PSE Japan update
PSE's activities in Japan reflect the specific requirements of the Japanese market. PSE Japan personnel explain how the focus on reaction, crystallisation, separation and polymerisation will continue alongside addressing of new technology areas and new sectors such as automotive. They also explain how PSE has evolved a comprehensive evaluation approach to enable prospective users of the company’s Advanced Model Libraries (AMLs) in these technology areas to understand how they can be applied to maximum benefit much faster and easier than before.
CD-adapco JAPAN Combining the power of gPROMS and modeFRONTIER
gPROMS has been successfully been linked to modeFRONTIER and is being used to provide high-accuracy process information to modeFRONTIER's optimiser. The combination provides a very powerful design tool for the process, automotive and many other industries.
18:00 – 20:00 Reception and dinner
To close the action-packed Day 1, we welcome you to a reception and dinner at the Paris styled Cafe Restaurant "CAFE de la PRESSE" close to the conference venue. You will be able to meet and exchange views with other participants and PSE personnel in informal surroundings.

Friday 12 September – Day 2
09:30 – 10:00 Refreshments
10:00 – 11:30

Session 2 – Customer presentations
At this session you will obtain valuable insights from Japanese users on how they use advanced process modelling to generate tangible business benefits.
N. Nonoyama (speaker), Y. Ikogi, and T. Yoshida
Toyota Motor Corporation

Model development for designing polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell (PEMFC)
Toyota has developed a mathematical model of PEMFC that was constructed with as many principal physical equations as possible and validated with experimental data from a wide range of conditions. The model can quantitatively simulate the performances of various cells under different conditions. Parameter studies were carried out in order to analyse the effects of physical properties of each component.

Yukihiro Aizawa, Taiyo Nippon Sanso

Innovative R&D empowered by Advanced Process Modelling
Several industrial applications for Advanced Process Modelling are presented in order to illustrate how modelling is used to accelerate development tasks in Taiyo Nippon Sanso.
Shigeo Oba, Shigeru Kashiwaya
PSE Japan		 PSE London Annual Meeting update
Summary of key presentations from the April 2008 PSE Annual Meeting in London
11:30 – 12:10

Session 3 – PSE developments
At this session we will the launch the new Advanced Model Library for Fuel Cells (AML:FC). In addition, you will hear about PSE's new refined approach for technology evaluation, which provides a fast-track route for customers to understand the business value for technology package such as the Advanced Model Libraries for Fixed Bed Catalytic Reactors (AML:FBCR), Solution Crystallisation (AML:SC) and Fuel Cells (AML:FC).
Zbigniew Urban
Chief Technology Officer, PSE		 The Advanced Model Library for Fuel Cells (AML:FC)
The latest in PSE's series of AMLs, the AML:FC embodies an unprecedented level of modelling for fuel cell components and systems. Available in SOFC and PEM versions, the AML accelerates development by providing high-accuracy information for design and operations decision support.
Shigeo Oba, Shigeru Kashiwaya
PSE Japan		 Polysilicon processes: rapid development plus risk management
High-purity polysilicon is a key material for the electronics and solar power industries. Existing processes are based on old technology and have limited scalability. Modelling can help overcome the challenges facing producers, to accelerate development while reducing technology and commercial risk.
12:10 – 13:30 Lunch
13:30 – 16:00

Optional mini-course: Flowsheeting in gPROMS v3.1
At this mini-course you will be able to experience at first hand the significant enhancements of the new gPROMS v3.1 for flowsheet modelling, reporting and display.

Shigeru Kashiwaya
PSE Japan

With the advent of v3.1 gPROMS now has graphical flowsheeting capabilities that go way beyond conventional simulators and modelling tools. This half-day course looks at the new capabilities from two angles:
– Part A: the flowheeting user’s perspective
– Part B: the model developer’s perspective.
