Introducing PDC: Pioneering Process Design for a Low-Carbon Future
With over 37 years of expertise, Process Design Center (PDC) is a leading technology provider and consulting company specializing in process optimization for bio-based, energy, carbon capture, and circular water projects. Headquartered in the Netherlands, PDC operates across 58 countries, offering innovative, circular solutions that reduce waste, enhance resource efficiency, and promote sustainability in the process industry.
By integrating advanced process simulation tools, data-driven optimization, and conceptual process design, PDC helps industries transition toward a low-carbon, circular economy. Their work ensures that bio-based processes are not only environmentally friendly but also technically and economically viable for large-scale implementation.
PDC’s Role in the FLEXIZYME Project
As the leader of Work Package 2 (WP2) in the FLEXIZYME project, PDC is responsible for developing an integrated, scalable process to convert industrial residues into fatty amines through enzymatic biocatalysis.
- Industrial Process Design & Optimization – PDC selects and designs industrial-scale unit operations and reactors based on lab-scale findings from other work packages.
- Advanced Simulation Tools – Using chemical simulators and PROSYN, PDC optimizes the process flow, side stream valorization, and resource management.
- Conceptual Process Design & Economic Feasibility – PDC compiles critical data for techno-economic and life cycle assessments, providing financial insights that guide strategy development.
By applying a holistic approach, PDC ensures that FLEXIZYME’s enzymatic route is scalable, cost-effective, and sustainable, paving the way for bio-based fatty amine production that meets the demands of modern industry.
