    title: material security
    Project The era of oil independence is approaching and sustainability is the key
    overview to the future. The project is aimed to evaluate technically and
    : economically the attractiveness of biomass to chemical process routes,
    as well as to identify if and how those processes can be directly tied-in to
    existing (petro)chemicals facilities. Sensitivity analysis (via e.g. Monte
    Carlo simulation) is part of the work to account for uncertainties inherent
    in this topic.

    title: fuels/chemicals
    Project In processing essential oil or biomass to produce chemicals/fuels, there
    overview are uncertainties encountered during process design. This is mainly due
    : to variations in the feed compositions because such process should be
    able to handle large variety of feedstocks. In practice, process engineers
    just design the process equipment large enough to handle those
    variations. However, such practice may not be economically efficient.
    Hence, the goal of this research is to develop methodologies to design
    flexible processes that can handle feed variations.
    Apart from this flexibility, the designed process should be able to cope
    quickly with any disturbance. Hence, the resiliency of the process should
    be taken into account, which calls for simultaneous design and control.
    The method will be tested for processing essential oils and biomass to
    fuels/chemicals.

    title: materials)
    Project Process integration is a holistic view to optimize the use of resources
    overview (e.g. energy, water, materials, etc.). It is supported with different
    : visualization tools (e.g. composite curves, material recycle pinch diagram)
    as well as mathematical programming tools (e.g. linear, nonlinear, integer,
    mixed integer nonlinear programming).
    In this project, it is aimed to develop effective and efficient tools that are
    easier to implement in industries.
