Intelligen, Inc.
Process Problems: Design, Operation, Control, Optimisation, Management etc.
� Computational Modelling helps to understand the problems more
efficiently using mathematical tools
Also Mathematical Tools help:
-To design experiments efficiently
-To evaluate the process quickly
-To generate process data when experiment is extremely difficult or
expensive
-To gain a deep insight of the process
