D3.4 – Process optimization through advanced chemical engineering and simulation

Within HYDROPTICS project optimization steps to be discussed include two main aspects: optimization of the automated liquid-liquid extraction process and optimization of the key process steps in the water purification plant.

Work on this project task will mainly deal with the elaboration of the system requirements and its conceptual design. One of the key points is to collect required input to come up with a digital twin of the complete industrial process where Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulation methods will be implemented.

Within this deliverable the Know-how in chemical engineering will be applied. Whole work will be supported by CFD simulation and process simulation for modelling of complex chemical processes (multiphase).
