Modeling and optimization of various processes enable more efficient operations and better
planning activities for new process developments. With recent advances in computing …

The purpose of this review is three-fold. First, sketch the directions that research and
industrial applications of “intelligent systems” have taken in several areas of process …

The article discusses the presence and potential of Artificial Intelligence in Chemical
Engineering and discusses its background. Topics include the Phases of Artificial …

Multivariate statistical procedures for monitoring the progress of batch processes are
developed. The only information needed to exploit the procedures is a historical database of …

Decision support systems (DSS) are becoming increasingly more critical to the daily
operation of organizations. Data warehousing, an integral part of this, provides an …

Wastewater treatment processes are inherently dynamic because of the large variations in
the influent wastewater flow rate, concentration and composition. Moreover, these variations …

The dynamic behavior of processing systems exhibits both continuous and significant
discrete aspects. Process simulation is therefore a combined discrete/continuous simulation …

The term Process Systems Engineering (PSE) is relatively recent. It was coined about 50
years ago at the outset of the modern era of computer-aided engineering. However, the …

Complex processes involve many process variables, and operators faced with the tasks of
monitoring, control, and diagnosis of these processes often find it difficult to effectively …

Process safety, occupational health and environmental issues are ever increasing in
importance in response to heightening public concerns and the resultant tightening of …
