Overview:
ChemCatBio's process modeling teams from Los Alamos National Laboratory, National
Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), and Pacific National Laboratory have extensive
expertise in modeling complex, integrated biomass conversion processes, incorporating
novel equipment designs, material balances, equipment sizing, heat integration, and
physical property estimation. This capability, based on detailed process modeling
using steady-state and dynamic process simulation packages from Aspen Plus, allows
the projection of scale-up and commercial impacts of lab-scale research without having
to build actual chemical plants. The rigor in our process modeling allows for a realistic
projection of process behavior for any assumed or experimental catalyst performance.
