Process and System Engineering - PSI
This department is undoubtedly the last link to approach complete control of the chemical supply chain. It brings together activities focused on the development of systematic procedures for the design and operation of processes and production systems, which generally involve advanced digital strategies. The work takes into account a whole set of criteria, sometimes contradictory, such as cost minimization, respect for the environment, absolute process safety and others. By integrating human and social constraints, our scope expands to include industrial engineering.

Overall objectives of the PSI department
Thanks to an approach centered on modeling, the PSI department aims to design interconnected equipment in a production unit. Its activity scans all the spatio-temporal scales from the molecule to the extended enterprise, including decision-making thanks to the concept of industrial engineering, the design of intensified equipment or even the integrated product-process design with molecular simulation.
Turned to a better understanding of the logistics chain by the development of generic modeling, simulation, multi-objective optimization and decision support tools, the department systematically explores theoretical problems closely related to experimental validation.
