==Goals==

The mission of the PSDC laboratory is to conduct research and education in the field of [[process (engineering)|process]] systems engineering and to develop industry partnerships to solveaddress significant issues of interest in process systems.

=== Technological and Economic Developments ===

The PSDC laboratory worked towards technological and economic developments over the last few decades. The working body has worked towards improving the way chemical processes and production facilities are designed and operated. Conventional process systems are now discarded whereas modern and next-generation plants are adopted at large at the facility. It has adopted state-of-the-art clean technologies for environmental safety and is utilizing [[recycle]] streams, [[energy recovery]] networks, etc. to provide a more efficient utilization of [[natural resources]]. Subsequently, much interest in advanced control systems with modern control techniques has emerged, and PSDC has carried out widespread research regarding the Process Design and Control field since 1994. Many of the research activities are focused on industrial projects because of the unique features of the laboratory. This allows the graduate students to get various industrial experiences with the capability of the able process engineer.

Over the past few decades, the PSDC laboratory has focused on technological and economic advancements. It has worked towards improving the design and operation of chemical processes and production facilities. The laboratory has transitioned from conventional process systems to modern and next-generation plants, incorporating state-of-the-art clean technologies for environmental safety. This includes the utilization of recycle streams and energy recovery networks to enhance the efficient use of natural resources.
