| Overview A new short course will be offered May 9-16, 2012, with CAPD members receiving a 25%
discount registration fee. This course is organized in seven modules in the areas of
conceptual design, optimization modeling and integrated process operations. Modules can be taken in any
combination (e.g. 1, 2, 3 modules). The course stresses the application of recently
developed optimization and control strategies to practical process problems. Geared to
the practitioner, this course provides practical information and exposure to powerful
and sophisticated optimization tools for process synthesis, process control, enterprisewide
optimization and molecular modeling. In addition, the course emphasizes systematic
solution approaches and provides the necessary background to understand the
tools and apply them correctly and efficiently to your problem. The seven modules are as
follows:
Conceptual Design
| a) |
Process Synthesis
(Siirola, Wednesday, May 9) |
Optimization Modeling
| b) |
Nonlinear programming
(Biegler, Thursday, May 10) |
| c) |
Mixed-integer and disjunctive programming
(Grossmann, Friday, May 11) |
| d) |
Global optimization and optimization under uncertainty
(Sahinidis, Saturday, May 12) |
Integrated Process Operations
| e) |
Mixed-integer models for planning and scheduling
(Grossmann, Monday, May 14) |
| f) |
Differential/algebraic models for real time optimization
(Biegler, Tuesday, May 15) |
| g) |
Integrating computation, communication and control in complex process networks
(Ydstie, Wednesday, May 16) |

You Should Attend If...
- You are a process engineer interested in obtaining improved solutions for your
design, operation and planning problems.
- You are an engineer interested in learning how to formulate models for process modeling, process and supply chain optimization and synthesis, and how to solve them with advanced computer tools.
- You are a manager interested in understanding and introducing these tools in your working environment.
- You are a researcher interested in quickly testing new process ideas and concepts through the use of optimization-based strategies.
