  • product oriented process synthesis and development creams and pastes
    Aiche Journal, 2001
    Co-Authors: Christianto Wibowo
    Abstract:

    A systematic procedure is presented for the synthesis and development of manufacturing processes for creams and pastes. The procedure integrates the skills of a chemist and a Chemical Engineer to produce a product with specified properties. The desired functional and sensorial performance of the product is first identified in terms of quality factors. Then, the requisite ingredients are selected, and the process flowsheet, as well as the operating conditions, is synthesized. There are four steps in the procedure: identification of product quality factors, product formulation, flowsheet synthesis, and product and process evaluation. Design guidelines, as well as physical models describing relevant phenomena, are used to assist decision-making at each step of the procedure.

  • a Chemical Engineer s perspective on health and disease
    Computers & Chemical Engineering, 2014
    Co-Authors: Ioannis P Androulakis
    Abstract:

    Abstract Chemical process systems Engineering considers complex supply chains which are coupled networks of dynamically interacting systems. The quest to optimize the supply chain while meeting robustness and flexibility constraints in the face of ever changing environments necessitated the development of theoretical and computational tools for the analysis, synthesis and design of such complex Engineered architectures. However, it was realized early on that optimality is a complex characteristic required to achieve proper balance between multiple, often competing, and objectives. As we begin to unravel life's intricate complexities, we realize that that living systems share similar structural and dynamic characteristics; hence much can be learned about biological complexity from Engineered systems. In this article, we draw analogies between concepts in process systems Engineering and conceptual models of health and disease; establish connections between these concepts and physiologic modelling; and describe how these mirror onto the physiological counterparts of Engineered systems.

  • life cycle assessment and the Chemical Engineer a marriage of convenience
    Current opinion in chemical engineering, 2013
    Co-Authors: Jonathan Provo, James Fava, Steven Baer
    Abstract:

    Chemical Engineers assume a broad range of functions in industry, spanning the development of new process designs, the maintenance and optimization of incumbent systems, and the production of intermediate materials, end products and new technologies. The technical aptitude that enables the Chemical Engineer to fulfill these various roles along the value chain makes them compelling participants in the environmental assessment of the product in question. This article provides a brief overview of LCA and how Chemical Engineers will find it accessible, both in terms of technical exercise as well as in utility to sustainability functions. It also examines some of the issues that can arise when performing an LCA on a Chemical product and proposes ways to address them and improve the LCA situation in the Chemical industry.
