We will be exhibiting at Smart Engineering Tokyo 2016.

For process development, optimal plant design, and operational optimization studies! Simulators for the oil, gas, and chemical industries.

In plant design, equipment sizing, process consideration, and operational optimization, PSE believes that existing process simulators still have room for improvement in terms of convergence for obtaining numerical solutions, constraints of processes they can handle, and customization of process models (model extensibility). The process simulation software developed to meet the needs for more advanced and value-added process plant design and optimization is 'gPROMS Process'. 【Features】 * Libraries for specific applications * Creation of flow sheets using Drag & Drop * High-precision custom model creation and editing functions using gPROMS language * Changes in settings within the same environment from steady-state simulation models to dynamic simulation models * Powerful optimization solution search and analysis functions * Global System Analysis (GSA) * High-Performance Computing (HPC) ★ You can view two "case study materials" available for download. These include examples of achieving high-value product offerings and cost reduction through batch process optimization, as well as successful cases of cost reduction through the optimization of entire plants.

• simulator

This is a simulation model of a fixed bed catalytic reactor. It can be used for estimating reaction parameters, estimating catalyst life, cooling design, and operational optimization studies.

Fixed bed catalytic reactors are used for the production of various chemical raw materials, and their applications are wide-ranging. AML:FBCR is characterized by being a basic tool for the automatic estimation of reaction parameters for catalyst pellets in laboratory experiments, which can be scaled up for pilot or actual equipment studies. It is used as a model library on the simulation platform gPROMS ProcessBuilder. Furthermore, it allows for the representation of various units, including reactors, as a single process on one flow sheet, enabling the optimization of the entire plant. By using parameters adjusted based on experimental data in a precise kinetic model expressed by multiple equations and chemical reaction equations, the fundamental idea is to accurately predict the behavior of actual equipment with high model accuracy. Additionally, parameter estimation is also possible in the actual equipment model, expanding its applications such as estimating catalyst degradation.

• simulator

Automate the estimation of parameters such as reaction rates by freely inputting various mathematical model equations for chemical processes and comparing them with experimental results, making it possible to utilize for process optimization.

gPROMS ModelBuilder is a simulation platform software for supporting research and development, as well as equipment and plant design, which includes: - Process simulation (steady-state, dynamic) - Model validation (model parameter estimation) - Exploration of optimal experimental methods (design of experiments) - Optimization of operating methods and designs (static, dynamic optimization) - Plant automation (advanced control design and tuning) - Operator training (training simulator) It can be used for a variety of development support, analysis, and optimization considerations. By defining constants, variables, and equations using gPROMS Language and providing input values, model calculations can easily converge using the Initialization Procedure technology developed by PSE. After the initial calculation, it is possible to quickly recalculate by providing the automatically saved initial values.

For increasing production volume, optimizing operations, scale-up design, cost reduction, energy saving, etc.!

<gPROMS FormulatedProducts Crystallization Process Library> It can be used for various considerations and decision-making in production volume enhancement, operational improvement, and process optimization. To build efficient procedures (recipes) in the crystallization process, we will efficiently carry out operations in the following flow and achieve these within a short period (approximately 1 to 2 months). Modeling → Experiment → Model Verification (Parameter Estimation, Validation) → Process Optimization Consideration → Scale-Up Consideration The ability to automatically perform parameter estimation with the tool is a significant factor in reducing the consideration period. Additionally, since it is a kinetic model (expressing mechanisms in mathematical formulas), the number of parameters is kept to a necessary minimum. Furthermore, tools that automatically optimize cooling temperature reduction methods and patterns, the amount and timing of seed crystals, evaporation rates, and heating patterns are powerful, and scale-up may be conducted in conjunction with CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) simulations when necessary.

【Key Points of This Seminar】 - What is "push-type"? The true nature of common waste in the workplace - Basic principles of pull production and steps for on-site implementation - The concept of "downstream pull" to reduce work-in-progress and inventory - Case studies of companies that have made improvements - Specific methods for establishing a small start 【Target Audience: Improvement leaders and management】 - Those who feel there is too much "overproduction," "bottlenecks," and "wasteful movements" in the workplace - Those struggling with the gap between production planning and actual work - Those looking for ways to sustain improvement activities - Those who want to know practical methods for implementing TPS (Toyota Production System) ~ Visualizing waste to achieve "just enough, when needed" ~ "Is your workplace being 'pushed'?" In the workplace, issues such as "produced but not used" and "work-in-progress overflowing and halting flow" are common. Many of these problems may stem from push-type production, where items are made "just in case" rather than "because they are needed." A chain moves easily when "pulled," but what happens when it is "pushed"? ── This is precisely the difference between push and pull. We will teach you the system of production that "does not overproduce and does not stagnate" based on the concept of "pull production."

**Seminar Points** Improvement means changing standards for the better. There can be no improvement where there are no standards. If there are no standards, start by creating them. Standards are "rules." What to decide are "procedures," "methods," and "timing." This seminar is focused on determining "procedures" and creating "work instruction documents." **"Without standards, there is no improvement" — Learning from Toyota's teachings on documentation in the workplace** The source of Toyota's strength lies in the concepts of "improvement" and "standardization." At the core of this is a culture of making insights and skills visible in the workplace and documenting them. In other words, it is a system of knowledge transfer through documentation. Relying on the experience and intuition of veterans can be a strength in the workplace, but it also carries the risk that quality may change when people change. By ensuring that everyone performs tasks in the same way, we can achieve the same quality products (good products) in the same amount of time. First and foremost, the development of "work instruction documents" is essential. When presenting work instruction documents in video format, it is also a prerequisite that this "foundational document" is well established. *For more details, please download the PDF or contact us.*

The "Team Cohesion and Team Strength Development Seminar" is an online seminar that provides techniques for demonstrating leadership that drives members and achieves results as a team. "Become a Leader Who Unites the Team from an Excellent Player" The cornerstone of the workplace is the leadership class, such as supervisors and team leaders. It is crucial for these individuals, who know the front lines, to demonstrate leadership that drives the work and leads the members. No matter how excellent a player is, if they work alone, they will only ever be as strong as one horsepower. It’s about demonstrating strength as a team! In other words, it’s about moving people… and that requires a deep understanding of others and the ability to respond. I believe that the most important aspects are the perspective and execution needed to involve those around you, align the vectors, and propel the team forward.
