Process Systems Engineering from an industrial and academic perspective
Abstract
Process Systems Engineering (PSE) deals with methods and tools to support decision-making for the creation and operation of chemical supply chains, including the discovery, design, manufacturing, processing, and distribution of chemical products. In other words, PSE is about educated decision-making, at all levels and (size/time) scales, by understanding complex systems using a holistic view.
