Process Industrial Centre at Lund University
Researchers: Josefin Berner, Tore Hägglund, Charlotta Johnsson, Kristian Soltesz
With support from the Swedish Foundation for Strategic Research (SSF), the process industrial centre PIC-LU was established in collaboration with the department of Chemical Engineering.
The overall goal of PIC-LU is to establish, in cooperation with Swedish process industry, an internationally leading centre for research and professional training in process optimization and control.
In the research program, methodology and tools for modelling, optimization, and control of industrial processes are developed, in order to improve production systems with respect to flexibility, controllability, and availability. The methodology and the tools are developed from specific solutions to process control problems suggested by the industrial partners. The goal is to make the results from PIC-LU industrially relevant, not only for the participating industries, but on a wide scale in process operation and automation.
In the competence development program, the main goal is to increase the competence level of process optimization and control in industry as well as in academy. The goal will be reached in two ways; through an educational program at different levels for staff in process industry, and by directed efforts in MSc and PhD programs at the university.
