Agenda
| Tuesday 11 September – Day 1 | ||
| 14:30 – 15:00 Registration | ||
| 15:00 – Introduction and Welcome | 15:00-15:10 Shigeru Kashiwaya, Yoshiyasu Ishioka |
|
| Session 1 – Welcome and keynote address | ||
| PSE update: new technologies, new customers, new operations: As more and more companies in different process sectors adopt Advanced Process Modelling, PSE is expanding its technology and operations around the world to meet their requirements. Prof. Costas Pantelides provides an update on technology and commercial developments. | 15:10-15:30 Prof. Costas Pantelides, PSE |
|
| Keynote: Advanced Process Simulation in the Chemicals Industries: Sequential modular process simulators – widely used for the design and analysis of chemical processes – are increasingly used in operational support. Equation based simulators, mainly used for modelling and optimisation – in particular in the formulation of new unit operations not used in conventional petrochemical plants – can also be used to make significant enhancements to operation. Prof. Hasebe, University of Kyoto, a leading academic in this field, provides the background and discusses developments. | 15:30-16:30 Prof. Shinji Hasebe, University of Kyoto |
|
| 16:30 – 17:00 Refreshments | ||
| Session 2 – APM and MBI applications 1 Advanced Process Modelling (APM) and Model-Based Innovation (MBI) techniques are being used for many challenging applications in the process industries. Here are some examples. |
||
VOC reactor modelling: JFE SOLDEC's high-efficiency VOC reactor is designed for removal of chloride compounds in variety of waste gases, and has a jacket for start-up heating and heat removal during normal operation. The gPROMS model takes into account chemical reactions, heat addition and removal and diffusion of the gas components. Mr Kato describes the model, the simulation results under various operation conditions, and further possibilities for model-based analysis and design of the plant and equipment. |
17:00-17:30 Moritaka Kato, JFE SOLDEC Corporation |
|
| Application of MBI techniques to Solid Oxide Fuel Cell development: For a fuel cell developer, effective design space exploration can be a daunting task, with experimental prototyping limited, time consuming and expensive. Rapid innovation can be only be achieved by constructing carefully selected sets of experiments supported by model based techniques. Dr Akbay describes the use of gPROMS to support development activities from single cell performance analysis to stack and system design iterations. | 17:30-18:00 Dr Taner Akbay, Mitsubishi Materials |
|
| Application of gPROMS to reaction in Mitsubishi Chemical Group: Mr Takanori Suzuki describes MCC's activities in modelling plant-scale reactors and deployment of the working models for daily production. | 18:00-18:30 Takanori Suzuki Mitsubishi Chemical Corporation |
|
19:00 – 20:30 Sunset cruise, dinner and drinks on Yokohama bay @ |
||
| Wednesday 12 September – Day 2 | ||
| 10:00 – 10:20 Coffee | ||
| SESSION 3: gPROMS technology – gPROMS v3.1 preview and developments Following the major release of gPROMS version 3.0 last year, version 3.1 adds graphical features, key new solution capabilities and other significant 'under the hood' advances. |
||
|
gPROMS v3.1 ModelBuilder. v3.1 philosophy and key features, with demonstration of new graphical display capabilities, new pre-configured result presentation in reports, enumerated domains and other usability-enhancing kernel developments.
gPROMS v3.1+ Modeling and solution capabilities. Significant new developments such as gSTART initialization capability, non-uniform grids and automatic solution of high-index DAEs. gPROMS v3.1+: Advanced techniques for model validation. Well-validated first-principles models are the key to high-accuracy predictive modelling. PSE is investing considerable R&D effort into advanced techniques for model validation, as well as related areas of research. |
10:20-11:35 Prof. Costas Pantelides, PSE |
|
| State-of-the-art of crystallisation modelling with gPROMS as the main tool: Associate Prof. Takiyama describes how gPROMS is helping companies to make significant improvements through the application of solution crystallisation process modelling. | 11:35-12:05 Associate Prof. Hiroshi Takiyama, Tokyo University of Agriculture and Technology |
|
| 12:05 – 13:05 Lunch | ||
| SESSION 4: APM and MBI applications 2 | ||
| High-fidelity modelling of polymerisation reactors: PSE has been developing a new generation of polymerisation process models, including the homogeneous co-polymerisation model described here. The models represent a step increase in the description of product quality over current techniques. | 13:05-13:35 Zbigniew Urban, PSE |
|
| Fixed-Bed Catalytic reactor modelling – technology update: Techniques for maximising the accuracy of catalytic bed reactor modelling are advancing rapidly. PSE Technology Leader and Principal Consultant Zbigniew Urban provides an update on the state of the art. | 13:35-14:05 Zbigniew Urban, PSE |
|
| Refreshments | ||
| Educational application gPROMS at Kurume National College of Technology: Prof. Izumoto describes the application of gPROMS for teaching and his own research. Starting from fiscal year 2006, gPROMS has been available for sophomores in material engineering at KNCT (Kurume National College of Technology) who use the software for process modelling. | 14:35-15:05 Prof. Eiji Izumoto, Kurume National College of Technology |
|
| LN Catalytic Cracking and HiDIC modelling: Dr Iwakabe describes the application of advanced reaction modelling to improve the operation of a Light Naptha plant, as well as the advanced modelling approach used to prove a heat-integrated distillation (HIDiC) application. | 15:05-15:35 Koichi Iwakabe, Maruzen/AIST |
|
| Conclusions and wrap-up | 15:35-15:45 Prof. Costas Pantelides, PSE |
