As part of the WIDEX project, TUKE staff participated in training on chemical process modeling, optimization, and control, including digital process simulation. Delivered by IDENER.AI (Seville, Spain), the training was conducted in three phases: online seminars, onsite sessions at IDENER.AI, and workshops at TUKE to apply and share the knowledge.
Process modeling provides mathematical representations of chemical systems—such as reaction kinetics, equilibrium, and mass transfer—that support process design and optimization. The training combined theory with practical Python-based modeling essential for modern chemical engineering simulations.
Online seminars
Online seminars covered Python programming, basics of process digitalization, and chemical process modeling, including process kinetics, mathematical modeling, and equipment simulation, with hands-on exercises in the Spyder environment. These were aimed at students, researchers, and professionals interested in process digitalization.
Onsite seminars
From March 18 to April 1, 2025, TUKE representatives attended advanced onsite training at IDENER.AI focused on modeling, simulation, and optimization of chemical processes, combining theoretical insights with practical exercises.
Internal Workshop
On June 24, 2025, TUKE’s Institute of Recycling and Environmental Technologies (IRET) hosted a seminar titled “Chemical Engineering Using Python – Mathematical Modeling and Process Digitalization with Python.” Led by Petra Růžičková and Jakub Klimko, participants of the IDENER training, the seminar covered Python basics, numerical methods, and process modeling. Its goal was to expand and deepen the knowledge gained during the online seminars through practical exercises applying mathematical modeling and process digitalization techniques.
