Title: Process systems engineering for efficiently achieving circular economy

Abstract

This talk will highlight the benefits of systems thinking and process systems engineering incorporated in decision-making to achieve circular economy. Process systems engineering is an interdisciplinary field within Chemical Engineering that its main objective is the development of systematic procedures based on mathematical models and computational techniques for the analysis, design, operation, control and optimization of process systems. The ability to systematically evaluate the opportunities to create revenue streams from waste streams helps in efficiently achieving a circular economy. Various examples and latest developments will be shown to demonstrate the importance of systematic evaluation and identification of these opportunities and planning for developing new processes to realize them. 

Biography

Seyed Soheil Mansouri is currently an assistant professor in chemical and biochemical engineering with main focus on process systems engineering at Technical University of Denmark (DTU). He has received his PhD in integration of process design and control in 2016 and his MSc in chemical and biochemical engineering in 2013 both from  DTU. He received his BSc from University of Kerman, Iran in 2011. His current research is primarily focused on developing systematic methods and tools for synthesis, design and analysis of downstream chemical and bio-pharmaceutical processes and resource recovery opportunities towards achieving zero-waste and circular economy.
