The
Center provides a unique atmosphere for fundamental research,
development of
specific techniques, application to real industrial processes,
and
opportunities for advanced education in chemical process
modeling, monitoring, and control for graduate students
and
industrial practitioners.
Facilities
are available for real-time
testing of new algorithms in an experimental polymerization
pilot
plant and the development of dynamic simulations of real
processes.
Interdisciplinary
collaboration is encouraged with faculty in other centers,
institutes and departments engaged in biotechnology, polymer
processing, environmental science, applied statistics, signal
processing, chemical reaction engineering, and process design.
Focal
Areas of Research
The
research activities of the Center are grouped in the following
focus areas:
| Process
Synthesis and Plant-Wide Control |
| Dynamics
and Control of Distillation |
| Control
of Reactive Systems |
