Process Systems Engineering - Introduction

 

Process systems engineering (PSE) in the pharmaceutical industry: past and future

Process Systems Engineering (PSE) has had a profound impact in the chemical, petroleum and petrochemical industry in the last 30 – 40 years.

Applications of Systems Engineering in the Chemical and Process Industries

The Carnegie Mellon Process Systems Engineering (PSE) group represents one of the largest university research efforts for process systems engineering in the United States. Over the past four decades, the PSE group (Professors Biegler, Gounaris, Grossmann, Sahinidis, and Ydstie) has changed the global landscape of process systems engineering, providing intellectual leadership in complex decision-making issues faced by process industries, such as the petrochemical and emerging energy technology industries. Our underlying approach is based on developing and advancing systematic modeling and solution methods for multi-scale process systems engineering, covering the full spectrum from the molecular to the enterprise level.

Process Systems Engineering (PSE) focuses on a complete, life cycle view of the manufacturing process in chemical engineering, beginning from the scale of molecule discovery &  scale up to the other end of spectrum relating to achieving manufacturing excellence and minimizing environmental impact. The PSE research has been focusing on these various individual steps in the life cycle of process engineering from both theoretical as well application perspectives.

Facets of Systems Science

This book has a rather strange history. It began in Spring 1989, thirteen years after our Systems Science Department at SUNY -Binghamton was established, when I was asked by a group of students in our doctoral program to have a meeting with them. The spokesman of the group, Cliff Joslyn, opened our meeting by stating its purpose. I can closely paraphrase what he said: "We called this meeting to discuss with you, as Chairman of the Department, a fundamental problem with our systems science curriculum. In general, we consider it a good curriculum: we learn a lot of concepts, principles, and methodological tools, mathematical, computational, heuristic, which are fundamental to understanding and dealing with systems. And, yet, we learn virtually nothing about systems science itself. What is systems science? What are its historical roots? What are its aims? Where does it stand and where is it likely to go? These are pressing questions to us. After all, aren't we supposed to carry the systems science flag after we graduate from this program? We feel that a broad introductory course to systems science is urgently needed in the curriculum. Do you agree with this assessment?" The answer was obvious and, yet, not easy to give: "I agree, of course, but I do not see how the situation could be alleviated in the foreseeable future.
