About Process Systems Enterprise

PSE (www.psenterprise.com) is one of the world's foremost providers of advanced process modelling (APM) software and model-based engineering (MBE) services to the process industries. APM uses high-fidelity predictive mathematical models of process equipment and phenomena to provide accurate numerical information for decision support in process innovation, design and operation.

Use of PSE's technology and services within MBE programmes results in faster innovation, improved designs of processes and products, enhancement of existing operations and more effective R&D and experimental programmes. Results are achieved with relatively low investment compared to alternative approaches - where these exist - with rapid return on investment and transfer of modelling know-how to industry.

PSE's global customer base of process manufacturing companies and their technology suppliers is served by operations in the UK, USA, Germany, Japan and Korea, and agencies in India and Saudi Arabia. PSE is a spin-out of Imperial College London, and its software is used in some 200 research organisations around the world.

The company's own ability to innovate was recognised with the receipt of the prestigious 2007 Royal Academy of Engineering MacRobert Award for Engineering Innovation.

About gPROMS®

gPROMS® is the world's leading advanced process modelling (APM) environment. gPROMS high-fidelity models are used to provide accurate predictive information for decision support to reduce time-to-market for new processes or products, manage development risk, improve designs, enhance production, reduce capital and operating expenditure and ensure better compliance with safety, health and environmental requirements.

The package is applied in all sectors of the process industries, with particular focus on modelling of complex operations such as reaction, separation, crystallisation, polymerisation and fuel cell processes, where PSE supplies state-of-the-art model libraries. PSE is currently bringing to market a range of gPROMS-based engineering simulation and modelling products which include gPROMS Fuel Cell, gPROMS Solids and gPROMS Flare.

gPROMS is applied across the 'process lifecycle', from laboratory experimentation, through process and detailed design, to online operation, and is central to a model-based engineering approach. PSE is committed to maintaining gPROMS at the leading edge of modelling technology.
