Welcome to CAPEC
Computer Aided Process-Product Engineering Center (CAPEC) of Technical University of Denmark (DTU) is committed to research work in close collaboration with industry and to participate in educational activities. The research objectives of CAPEC can be summarised as:
Development of Computer Aided Systems for Chemical and Biochemical Product-Process Modelling/Simulation, Synthesis, Design, Analysis and Control/Operation for Chemical, Petrochemical, Pharmaceutical, Agrochemical, Food and Biochemical Industries.
The dissemination of the research results of CAPEC is carried out in terms of:
Computational Tools
Property estimation methods, mathematical models, numerical solvers, process simulators, process-product synthesis/design toolbox, process control toolbox and many more
Technology
Methodologies for process-product synthesis, design, analysis and control/operation, simulation strategies, solvent selection/design, pollution prevention, sustainable process-product alternatives and many more
Application
Industrial case studies, tutorial case studies, technology transfer studies and consulting

Visit to Japan - MCC Kashima Plant and ICCT Conference
# The 16 Aug 2010 by Eva Mikkelsen
Professor Rafiqul Gani and PhD-student Carlos Axel Diaz Tovar were in Tsubuka, Japan to participate in the ICCT-2010 (21st IUPAC International Conference on Chemical Thermodynamics) on 31 July to 6 August. Professor Gani gave an invited lecture on "Property Modelling for Applications in Chemical Product and Process Design" and Carlos Axel Diaz Tovar gave an oral presentation on "Methods and Tools to Overcome the Lack of Data in Property Prediction in Lipid Processing Technology". They also took the opportunity to visit the MCC Kashima plant at Kashima on 3 August where Professor Gani gave a seminar on "Managing the Complexity in Product and Process Engineering" and gave a demonstration of the ICAS software.
CAPEC Annual Meeting - Result of Questionnaires
# The 13 Aug 2010 by Eva Mikkelsen
A total of 83 CAM10 participants were gathered at the Kolle Kolle conference hotel in Værløse amidst beautiful summery countryside scenery to network and share insights into the latest CAPEC research and feel the pulse of current CAPE/PSE trends in industry and academia. 24 of the participants were from CAPEC Consortium member companies, 14 were invited guests from academia and 45 were from DTU Chemical Engineering.
The response from the questionnaire related to the meeting has now been summarized and can be viewed/downloaded here. We are happy to note that the general level of satisfaction on almost all issues was very high.
Please note that our next Annual Meeting will be on 7-10 June 2011.
