PSE Japan gPROMS User Meeting 2009
Yokohama Creative City Centre
Yokohama, Japan
10-11 September 2009

"We reduced our polymer
batch time by 30%"
– European polymer manufacturer
We are pleased to announce the fifth PSE Japan User Meeting, to be held held at the Yokohama Creative City Centre on 10 and 11 September 2009.
The meeting is open to users and non-users of PSE's gPROMS advanced process modelling software and PSE's ModelCare consulting service, including academic researchers. There is no charge for attendance.
Model-based Engineering – energy, environment & economy
The meeting will focus on the application of Model-based Engineering to energy and environmental issues, as well as to driving economies through the process industries – for example:
- economic design in process engineering areas such as flare systems and distillation networks
- optimisation of complex equipment such as multi-stream heat exchangers that is still designed using legacy software
- carbon capture and storage (CCS) over the whole CCS chain
- complex clean-energy areas such as fuel cell component and system design.
Venue
The 2009 User Meeting will be held at the Yokohama Creative City Centre.
This former Daiichi Bank building is part of the Yokohama City project, which aims to revitalise the heart of the city by utilising refurbished historical buildings for contemporary culture and the arts.
The power of advanced process modelling
You will hear how applying state-of-the-art process modelling techniques can help you to:
- accelerate process and product innovation
- improve process equipment designs
- optimise operations to improve product quality and profitability
- quantify and manage innovation risk
- integrate R&D and Engineering
- improve the effectiveness of R&D experimentation.
Accelerating fuel cell development
For the first time we will hold a special session that focuses purely on fuel cell component and system design. See Accelerating fuel cell development for details.
Topics will include:
- the gPROMS Advanced Model library for Fuel Cells (AML:FC)
– SOFC and PEM versions - high-fidelity single cell modelling
- estimation of key modelling parameters for experimental data
- stack modelling for detailed mechanical design
- system analysis and design
- deactivation
Did you know: most of the world's leading fuel cell developers use gPROMS
We believe this meeting will be an excellent opportunity not only for existing PSE customers and prospects interested in PSE's product and services, but also for researchers in academia and research institutes to share their experience and ideas.
We look forward to seeing you there!
