Nowadays companies need to consider sustainability issues if they wish to operate in harmony with society and the environment and to leverage their resources efficiently in the long run. Sustainability issues often become the drivers for organizational change due to external pressures and demands. As it takes time for sustainability efforts to bear fruit, companies need to remain committed to the

Many modern drugs contain chiral amine moieties and the need for more efficient processes to synthesize these amines in high optical purity and concentration are greatly demanded by the fine chemical and pharma industry. Amine transaminases (ATA) allow for the direct asymmetric synthesis of optically pure amines from ketone substrates. Although academia and industry have been researching ATAs exte

The purpose of this work is the development, identification and validation of a model for the simulation of a thermomechanical multistage production process chain for sheet steels. The process of interest consists of forming (in particular deep-drawing) followed by cutting and heat treatment. For the forming and cutting stages, the complete model is based in particular on a model for thermoelastic

The epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) is a receptor involved in cell proliferation. It is frequently overregulated in cancer cells, making it an attractive target for cancer therapeutics. One possible pharmaceutical is protease-X; a protein involved in the cleavage of the EGFR and thus, a way to regulate the receptor’s activity and lead the cancer cells to apoptosis. The aim of this thesis h

In process industry many control loops are far from optimally tuned. In this master's thesis a tool for rapid process identification and control design has been developed. The tool, which is implemented in Matlab 5.3, identifies a process model out of the step response of the real process. A PI or PID controller can then be designed and evaluated. The tool contains three different automatic de

Many product development projects nowadays use computer-aided engineering systems in the analysis of product proposals. It is therefore important to appropriately integrate the analyses activities in the product development process. One important aspect of this integration is how to handle the initiation of the task: identifying the need, planning the task and its monitoring, and communicating it

Biogas, a mixture of methane and carbon dioxide, is produced by microorganisms upon degradation of organic matter in an anaerobic environment. It has been realised that by utilising anaerobic processes the organic pollutants in wastewater and organic solid waste from anthropogenic sources can be converted into a renewable source of energy. However, to fulfil the potential of anaerobic digestion in

In modern chemical process industry, process state transitions, orgrade changes, are common operations. For example, for a papermachine, a common operation is to change the surface weight of theproduced paper. In this case it is of importance that the transitionto the new grade is done fast, but without a breakdown asa result. This paper addresses this problem by combining optimizationtechniques a

Lignin, the most abundant aromatic biopolymer on Earth, is often considered a biorefinery by-product, despite its potential to be valorized into high-added-value chemicals and fuels. In this work, an integrated superstructure-based optimization model was set up and optimized using mixed-integer non-linear programming for the conversion of technical lignin to three main biobased products: aromatic
