Denmark : PhD Position in model-based integrated product-process design

Sponsored Links

Description of research/training elements
The research will focus on the development of a systematic framework for model-based product and process design. This methodology will be evaluated on reaction and separation unit operations typically involved edible oil industry or biofuels industry in collaboration with ALAVAL, which is the secondment institution.

An important part of the work will focus on development of the necessary models for the integrated study of different time/length scales involved in the product-process chain. To this end, already existing models will be surveyed and complemented if necessary with model identification techniques from process data. To facilitate the development of models (first-principles), which requires identification of reaction kinetics and mechanism in each unit operation, a systematic model identification methodology will also be developed and used. 

Another part of the work involves development of a solvent selection guide for the organic sysnthesis, which is important step in separation and extraction of product in edible oil industry.

The resulting library of models form the will be identified and validated against data. These validated individual unit process models will form the basis for carrying out model-based design (as in computer aided flowsheet design)  for new plants as well as model-based optimsiation of existing plants.
