    Welcome to Models as Tools – The Importance of Process Systems Engineering

    How can we design industrial processes so that they are efficient, economical and environmentally friendly at the same time? The answer lies in the use of mathematical models. They make it possible to understand, simulate and optimize complex systems - an indispensable tool for the engineering sciences. Systems process engineering in particular plays a key role here. In this learning offer, short videos explain what systems process engineering actually means and how models make the design and operation of large-scale plants more efficient and sustainable.
    The course content is also available in English. Simply change the language setting to view it.

  • What is process systems engineering?

    Industrial processes are often complex but they can be analyzed, modeled and optimized with the help of process systems engineering. In this video, you will learn how this engineering discipline influences our everyday lives.

  • How do simulations help to improve processes?

    How can you estimate how efficiently a plant will operate before it is even built? Simulations help to better understand and improve processes. Here is a specific example from chemical industry.

  • How can we find the best process solution?

    Not every technical solution is automatically the best. Optimization methods help to find the most efficient option. In this video, you will learn why this is such an important factor for industrial processes. You will also understand the difference between simulation and optimization.
