Through the Industrial Consortium, the Sargent Centre provides a tailor made service to individual Company members whilst fostering a broader cross-business sector understanding of process systems engineering developments.
The Sargent Centre started the Industrial Consortium to provide opportunities for member companies to become involved in the specification, development, validation and final commercial implementation of algorithms, software tools and methodologies derived from leading edge generic research performed in the Centre.
