Some of the challenges for the future are to use our methods and tools to find alternative<br />
routes for the production of important chemical products in the petrochemical and chemical<br />
sectors using renewable resources; to retrofit or adapt the current processes for changes to<br />
bio-based feed materials; to identify new block/platform chemicals, and, to incorporate in<br />
all problem solutions the issues related to energy, water, environment and green chemistry.<br />
• MultiMod project: This is a EC-funded Marie Curie ITN project in the area of multidiemensional<br />
modeling. Together with Alfa Laval, <strong>CAPEC</strong> has received funding for<br />
three PhD-scholarships. The project started in 2009 and ends in 2013. The objective<br />
here is to train researchers in the area of modelling.<br />
• OPTICO project: This is a EC-funded research project in the area of modelling and<br />
process intensification. <strong>CAPEC</strong> has received funding equivalent to 48 man-months of<br />
funding for researchers. The project started in January 2012 and ends in January 2015.<br />
The objective of the project is to develop model based methods and tools in the area of<br />
process intensification.<br />
• QNRF: This is a project funded by the Qatar National Priority Research Program. The<br />
objective is the design of synthetic fuels and value added chemicals derived from<br />
natural gas via combined experimental and process integration methodology. The<br />
project officially starts around September of 2012 and ends in 2015 with the Texas<br />
A&M University at Qatar, the Texas A&M University at College Station (Texas) and<br />
<strong>CAPEC</strong> as partners.<br />
• EcoDesign MBR: The Danish Council for Strategic Research has founded the<br />
EcoDesign MBR Centre in the period from 2010-2016 together with companies and<br />
universities. As project partner, <strong>CAPEC</strong> received funding for 1 PhD and 1 postdoctoral<br />
researcher in the area of developing membrane bioreactor(MBR) based technology for<br />
wastewater treatment. <strong>CAPEC</strong> will be developing process modeling to support<br />
technology development including design, optimization, operation and control as well<br />
as model-based tool for bioprocess scale-up to full-scale applications.<br />
• SWI: Storm- and Wastewater Informatics “SWI” is a strategic Danish Research Project<br />
funded for the period of 2008-2012 with an overall aim to close the knowledge gaps<br />
within prediction and control of current and future conditions in integrated urban<br />
wastewater systems. <strong>CAPEC</strong> received funding for 1 postdoc. As part of this project,<br />
<strong>CAPEC</strong> also received an industrial PhD funding from FTP the period 2011 – 2014. The<br />
project will develop optimizing control for integrated sewer and wastewater treatment<br />
plant systems.<br />
• IEA-IETS: This is an EUDP funded project to support Danish participation in IEA-<br />
IETS for the period 2011-2013. This is about particiapting in International Energy<br />
Agency (IEA) implementing agreement on industrial energy related technologies and<br />
systems (IETS). <strong>CAPEC</strong> has received funding to coordinate a task group on Energy<br />
efficient separation systems.<br />
1.2 The <strong>PROCESS</strong> Center<br />
The Center for Process Engineering and Technology is focused on the development of new<br />
and innovative production processes for industry. <strong>PROCESS</strong> works at the interface of a<br />
number of disciplines, including chemical engineering, biotechnology, process engineering<br />
and chemistry. The objective is to provide the necessary infrastructure and support to<br />
evaluate and implement the next generation of processes in the chemical, bio-based and<br />
pharmaceutical sectors in particular. All research is carried out in close collaboration with<br />
