Brief Profile and experience in the relative field of action:

The National Technical University of Athens (NTUA) is a Higher Education Institution and, according to paragraph 1 of article 3 of Greek Law 1262/82(2) it is a legal entity under the public law in Greece. In addition, NTUA, according to the provision of Directive 92/50, is a public organization that provides services through the Research Committee, as stated in article 1 of the Joint Ministerial Decision 679/22.8.96(3) signed by the Ministers of Finance and of Education. NTUA, as a public higher education institution is not a commercial dealer, is not subject to bankruptcy, liquidation, cessation or suspension of activities, judicial settlement, composition or similar action, nor is the subject of proceedings of this kind. Computational Engineering Unit (CEU) belongs to the Systems Analysis and Design Department of the School of Chemical Engineering, at National technical University of Athens. The Unit has developed research collaboration with numerous Greek and Foreign Universities, Research Centers and Companies and it has been growing in staff and facilities mainly by its involvement in numerous national and EC funded research projects.

Its research focus on:

• i. The development of computational models for industrial processes, such as chemical industries, operating enterprises, environmental protection, etc. in which modelling and development of computer-based applications is important. These models can be used as tools in equipment design and optimization or as decision-making aids in the abatement of environmental problems.
• ii. The applied environmental research (eg. emergency management systems, risk assessment and impact analysis, air quality monitoring network planning).

Current research projects include:

• i. Applications of computational models to the design of industrial equipment (membrane reactors, stirred-tank reactors, cement kilns, boilers, heat exchangers & steam generators, absorbers, cooling towers, fluid catalytic cracking reactors, etc.).
• ii. Environmental pollution (e.g. atmospheric) research, fire and safety engineering research and emergency management applied research.
• iii. Development of Decision-Support tools for solving crisis management problems
• iv. Development of Computer-based applications and systems for managing the operation and design needs of several industrial partners and state agencies.
