Welcome!
The Process Integration and Systems Optimization Group led by Prof. Mahmoud El-Halwagi focuses on sustainable process synthesis, design, operation, integration, and optimization. The key theme is the development of systematic methodologies that enable chemical engineers to identify optimum, sustainable, and creative strategies that lead to productivity enhancement, yield improvement, debottlenecking, pollution prevention, and energy conservation. Fundamental chemical engineering principles are coupled with systems engineering approaches to develop graphical, algebraic, and computer-aided optimization tools that are generally applicable and can address a wide variety of existing and new processing facilities, including the petroleum, petrochemical, fiber, pharmaceutical, food, mineral processing, and microelectronics industries. For more details, refer to the research topics.
