Chemical enterprise model and decision-making framework for sustainable chemical product design

The chemical product substitution process is undertaken by chemical industries for complying with regulations, like REACH in Europe. Initially devoted to chemists, chemicals substitution is nowadays a complex process involving corporate, business and engineering stakeholders across the chemical enterprise for orienting the search toward a sustainable solution. We formalize a decision making pro...

Risk Decision-making for Chemical Process Security

INTRODUCTION In the preceding years to the terrorist attacks in the United States of September 11th, 2001, the chemical industry focused its process safety activities on accidental release risks. Rarely, if ever, was consideration given to the risk of intentional release, or beyond that, the differences in the nature of such a release. This was most likely due to a perception that these risks w...

Development of a Computer-aided Product Design Tool for Sustainable Chemical Product Development

RESUMO – A computer aided product design (CAPD) tool was developed aiming to find bio-based molecules that match a set of desired properties. Molecules are represented by molecular graphs that are split into basic groups by automatic decomposition methods. These groups are further used for property predictions using Group Contributions methods by the property calculation component, a Dynamic-Li...

Sustainable Management; Model Building for Decision Making

As Sun Tzu says: “Judge advantages when accepting advices, and then, in accordance with that, arrange your forces supplementing them with extraordinary tactics. Forces should be arranged strategically, based on that what gives the advantage.” This though directly points that strategy and tactics need to be developed in the same direction to gain success. This is the application of the research ...
