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 manufacturing industries. APM uses high-accuracy mathematical models of process equipment and phenomena to provide high-quality numerical information for decision support in process innovation, design and operation and to capture process intellectual property [IP].

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 China and India. 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. It is used to provide high-quality information for decision support in innovation, design and operation across all sectors of the process industries, with particular focus on modelling of complex operations such as reaction, crystallisation, polymerisation and fuel cell processes, where PSE supplies state-of-the-art model libraries.

Companies apply gPROMS to reduce time-to-market for new processes or products, improve designs, enhance production, reduce capital and operating expenditure and comply more effectively with safety, health and environmental requirements.

gPROMS is applied across the 'process lifecycle', from laboratory experimentation, through process and detailed design, to online operation, and is central to the emerging technology of Model Based Innovation.

PSE is committed to maintaining gPROMS at the leading edge of modelling technology.
