Development of a phenomena based approachfor process
intensification
Process intensification (PI) is a means by which process
industries can achieve a more efficient and sustainable chemical
process through the improvement of for example energy
efficiency and waste generation. The objective of this project is
the further development of the phenomena based process
synthesis and design methodology and extension of its
application to entire processes together with the developm development of
a computer framework and computer-aided aided tool for application
of the methodology. The algorithm is part of a larger PI
framework which is being developed as collaboration between
the laboratory of Fluid Separations (FVT), TU TU-Dortmund and
CAPEC, DTU. This framework will allow the intensification of
processes through the combination of an experimental and
model-based approach.

Development of a systematic methodology for emulsion based
chemical product design
The goal of chemical product design is to find a product that
exhibits a set of desirable or specified behavior. A chemical
product design problem can be summarized as follows: given a
set of desired (target) properties, establish a list of chemical
formulations satisfying these targets and then choose from them
the most appropriate candidate to be veri verified experimentally.
The chemical product of interest can be a single chemical or a
mixture/blend; a formulated product is a mixture that contains
different chemicals, active ingredients as well as additive. The
objective of this project is to develop a systematic methodology
for the design of emulsified chemical products. The
methodology will employ a model model-based product
synthesis/design stage and a model-experiment experiment based further
refinement and/or validation stage. The success of any model-
based methodology depends on the availability of reliable and
predictive models. The project therefore will also develop,
where necessary, the required property prediction models for
emulsions. Design of consumer products will be considered as
suitable case studies.
