'''Process Systems Design and Control Laboratory''' (PSDC) was founded at the [[Yeungnam University]], [[Gyeongsan]], [[South Korea]], in 1994 to carry out research associated with the [[process design]] and [[process control]] area.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Process Systems Design & Control (PSDC) Lab |url=https://www.researchgate.net/lab/Process-Systems-Design-Control-PSDC-Lab-Moonyong-Lee }}</ref> Moonyong Lee is the adviser of this laboratory. It employs 19 members], including [[Postdoctoral]], [[Ph.D.]], [[Master's degree|Masters]], and [[Undergraduate]] students.

==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 technological and economical developments of a last few decades have brought a revolutionary change in the way chemical processes and production facilities are designed and operated. Conventional process systems are now discarded whereas modern and next generation plants; however, tend to adopt state of the art clean technologies for environmental safety and to be highly integrated (utilizing [[recycle]] streams, [[energy recovery]] networks, etc.) to provide a more efficient utilization of [[natural resources]]. But this integration could make the process more difficult to run and control the plant. Subsequently, much interest in advanced control systems with modern control techniques has emerged and PSDC has carried out the widespread research regarding on the Process Design and Control field since 1994. Many of the research activities are focused on the industrial projects because of the unique feature of the laboratory. This allows the graduate students to get various industrial experiences with the capability for 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.

=== Research Focus ===

Since 1994, the PSDC laboratory has carried out extensive research in the field of Process Design and Control. The focus has been on advanced control systems and modern control techniques. Many research activities are oriented towards industrial projects, leveraging the unique features of the laboratory. This focus on industrial collaboration provides graduate students with valuable industrial experience and enhances their capabilities as process engineers.
