One of the most important mechanisms for technology transfer is computer software. An outline of these packages is given on the software products page . The software packages cover a wide range of functions in process integration and are PC-based, to run under Windows. Each package is self-contained and makes available all of the functionality required by process designers to carry out their process integration tasks. The Department provides training in the use of the software to members of the Process Integration Research Consortium via a range of workshops covering different topics in process integration.
User documentation is available for the software.
The software allows members of the Process Integration Consortium to use effectively the latest results from the research programme and maintain a leading edge position in process integration.
