SUMMARY:Process Systems Engineering (PSE) tools and big data for bio-resou
 rce recovery - Prof. Brent Young\, University of Auckland

DESCRIPTION:Advancing towards a Circular Economy is a key initiative in st
 riving for “zero-waste” production processes. In the bio-based product
 ion industry\, resource recovery units can achieve this “zero-waste” p
 roduction objective by recovering valuable materials from waste which is b
 oth economically lucrative and technologically plausible.\n\nHowever\, des
 pite these facts industrial implementation of resource recovery solutions 
 is limited. A key reason for this limited implementation is the lack of co
 herent methods and tools that can be used to efficiently identify\, develo
 p and implement applicable platform technologies in respective industries 
 taking into account the complex Technical\, Economic and Societal consider
 ations.\n\nIn this talk thermodynamic based flow sheet synthesis and proce
 ss design for resource-based recovery from bio based processes will first 
 be presented.  The following questions will be addressed.  Why have simula
 tors not been used in bio based processes? What thermodynamics and unit op
 erations models exist?\n\nSecondly the roles and use of mechanistic models
  and data driven “big data” analytics for process quality control will
  be discussed and the following questions considered. What is big data and
  the internet of things and how can it add value to my operations? Can we 
 derive benefits from fusion of first principles models and machine learnin
 g for online monitoring and optimization?\n
