About Siemens Process Systems Engineering Ltd (Siemens PSE)[General focus]

Siemens Process Systems Engineering (www.psenterprise.com) is the world's foremost provider of Advanced Process Modelling software, services and solutions to the process industries. Companies apply advanced process models within digital design and digital operations initiatives to explore the process decision space rapidly and effectively, in order to reduce uncertainty and make better, faster and safer design and operating decisions.

Siemens PSE provides advanced process modelling products built on the company's gPROMS^® equation-oriented platform, including two core digital design environments for engineers and scientists: the gPROMS ProcessBuilder^® flowsheeting environment for optimizing fluid process design and operation and the gPROMS FormulatedProducts^® environment for integrated design and optimization of formulated products and their manufacturing processes. The company also provides gPROMS Operational Excellence Solutions, built on the gPROMS Digital Applications Platform, for operational monitoring, optimization and planning based on high-fidelity models.

Siemens PSE is committed to defining, developing and driving the adoption of next-generation process modelling software and workflows capable of supporting industry digitalization strategies. The unique advantages that PSE tools bring are the combination of high-fidelity models, powerful mathematical optimization and global system analysis capabilities within a single equation-oriented framework capable of utilising high-performance computing (HPC) for rapid and robust solution of complex problems.

Use of Siemens PSE's technology and services results in faster innovation, improved process and product designs, enhanced operations, reduced risk, more effective R&D and experimental campaigns and better capture and transfer of corporate knowledge across the organisation.

Siemens PSE's global customer base of Fortune 500 process industry companies and some 200 universities is served by operations in the UK, USA, UAE, Japan, Korea, China and Taiwan.

About Siemens Process Systems Engineering [gPROMS FormulatedProducts focus]

Siemens Process Systems Engineering (www.psenterprise.com) is the world’s foremost provider of Advanced Process Modelling software and services to the process industries.

About Siemens Process Systems Engineering [Academic focus]

Siemens Process Systems Engineering (www.psenterprise.com) is the world’s foremost provider of Advanced Process Modelling software, services and solutions to the process industries. Companies apply advanced process models within digital design and digital operations initiatives to explore the process decision space rapidly and effectively, in order to reduce uncertainty and make better, faster and safer design and operating decisions.

Siemens PSE provides gPROMS advanced process modelling products built on the company’s gPROMS^® equation-oriented mathematical modelling platform. gPROMS lets users capture fundamental research in model form easily and efficiently using powerful custom modelling capabilities. To improve predictive capability, model parameters can be fitted to experimental data using advanced parameter estimation and model validation facilities. Validated models can then be used for steady-state and dynamic simulation, or to systematically explore the decision space with global system analysis to analyse risk and uncertainty. Industry-leading MINLP optimization capabilities make it possible to optimize complex chemical engineering systems with multiple decision variables. gPROMS models can integrate with CFD simulations, CAPE-OPEN simulators and other modelling technologies.

Use of Siemens PSE’s technology and services within digital design and operations frameworks results in faster innovation, improved process and product designs, enhanced operations, reduced risk, more effective R&D and experimental campaigns, and better capture and transfer of corporate knowledge across the organisation.

Originally a spin-out of Imperial College London, Siemens PSE is committed to defining, developing and driving the adoption of next-generation process modelling software and workflows. The company supports chemical engineering academic research and education through low-cost academic licences, and sponsors the annual €5000 Model-Based Innovation Prizes, numerous other awards, academic conferences such as CAPE, and the PATH materials development for chemical engineering teaching.
