Webinar Content: "Introduction to Process Simulation Technology Including Bio-derived Raw Materials and Bio-reactions" As part of the technological development aimed at achieving a carbon-neutral society, the chemical industry is considering the transition to low-carbon raw materials such as bio-derived materials. Additionally, by applying biosciences utilized in various fields such as healthcare, agriculture, forestry, livestock, and fisheries, there is potential to shift from traditional chemical reaction processes that require high temperature and pressure to more environmentally friendly bioprocesses. In this session, we will introduce how to utilize the newly added bio-derived raw material database in Aspen Plus V14 and how to handle bio-reaction (biochemical reaction) processes. We will also present efficient methods for conducting feasibility studies and process design for bioprocesses, which have seen rapidly increasing demand recently. [We will introduce the following demos and features] ● Bio-derived raw material database ● Bio-reactions (biochemical reactions) ● Economic evaluation of bioprocesses ● Case studies using sample files
