The Laboratory of Process Systems Design and Implementation
PSDI laboratory mainly targets focused research and industrial projects in the area of modeling, design, optimization and control of chemical and energy conversion processes. LPSDI has developed expertise in the design, construction and automation of chemical and power production pilot plants through numerous industrial projects.
PSDI laboratory is a key laboratory of the Chemical Process Engineering and Energy Resources Institute (CPERI) which is part of the Centre for Research and Technology Hellas (CERTH) located in Thessaloniki, Greece.
PSDI is supported by competitive personnel of 30 employees including researchers, graduate students, control engineers, technicians and collaborative faculty members. Its infrastructure comprises of 8 pilot plant units (methanol, syngas, hydroprocessing, PEM) and 1 demonstration unit, a 230m2 machine shop and calibration room, and informatics infrastructure including 15 servers (firewall protected).
PSDI has participated in numerous competitive European and national research projects and has developed unique infrastructure, at European level, and technology in the following areas:
- Design and construction of process systems
- Modeling, control and optimization of systems and processes
- Development of electrochemical process systems
- Development of thermochemical and catalytic processes for energy, fuels and chemicals production
- BTL processes
- Hydrogen production from RES
