Process Systems Engineering for Pharmaceutical Manufacturing
From Product Design to Enterprise-Wide Decision-Making
Computer Aided Chemical Engineering Series

Process Systems Engineering for Pharmaceutical Manufacturing: From Product Design to Enterprise-Wide Decisions, Volume 41, covers the following process systems engineering methods and tools for the modernization of the pharmaceutical industry: computer-aided pharmaceutical product design and pharmaceutical production processes design/synthesis; modeling and simulation of the pharmaceutical processing unit operation, integrated flowsheets and applications for design, analysis, risk assessment, sensitivity analysis, optimization, design space identification and control system design; optimal operation, control and monitoring of pharmaceutical production processes; enterprise-wide optimization and supply chain management for pharmaceutical manufacturing processes.

Currently, pharmaceutical companies are going through a paradigm shift, from traditional manufacturing mode to modernized mode, built on cutting edge technology and computer-aided methods and tools. Such shifts can benefit tremendously from the application of methods and tools of process systems engineering.

Perspective on PSE in pharmaceutical process development and innovation-views from academia Rafiqul Gani, John Woodley and Emmanouil Papadakis

Reference for graduates, post graduates and researchers in academia and (pharma) industry. Chemists/ Chemical engineers in pharmaceutical companies. It could be used for novel courses on pharmaceutical systems engineering and by regulators (eg FDA) to familiarize themselves with the current PSE methods and tools.

Dr. Singh’s educational background was also based on Pharmaceutical system engineering field of Chemical and Biochemical Engineering. He obtained his MS from IIT Roorkee India and completed his MS thesis from Process System Engineering center, RWTH Aachen Germany on modelling and control of crystallization process (a key unit operation used for API purification process). He has completed his PhD from CAPEC, Department of Chemical and Biochemical Engineering, Technical University of Denmark. For his PhD thesis which was based on pharmaceutical systems engineering, he received a prestigious EFCE Excellence Award given in Recognition of an Outstanding PhD Thesis, from European Federation of Chemical Engineering. In the area pf pharmaceutical system engineering, he has published more than 43 research papers, written 4 book chapters, and presented at over 75 international conferences.

On the basis of Dr. Singh’s educational and research backgrounds and publication records, he is a right person to be served as an editor and author of this book.
