Should we exploit flexibility of chemical processes for demand response? Differing perspectives on potential benefits and limitations

Electrification of processes and utilities is considered a promising option towards the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions from the chemical industry. Therefore, electricity demand is expected to increase steeply. Since the sources of future low-carbon electricity are variable in nature, there is a need for strategies to match availability...

Extraction of building roof edges from LiDAR data to optimize the digital surface model for true orthophoto generation

Various kinds of urban applications require true orthophotos. True orthophoto generation requires a DSM (Digital Surface Model) to project the photo orthogonally and minimize geometric distortion due to topographic variance. DSMs are often generated from airborne laser scan data. In urban scenes, DSM data may fail to deliver sharp and...

Influence profile of wastewater chain in Amsterdam: Towards resilient system for phosphorus recovery and Valorisation

The wastewater system of Amsterdam offers an opportunity to recover phosphorus, and contribute to circular economy. However, it remains unclear where to intervene in system to maximize recovery and valorisation in a resilient and feasible way. The Design Structure Matrix method was tested to define the system architecture from Food-Water-Energy...

A DSM-based Framework for Integrated Function Modelling: Concept, application and evaluation

Function modelling is proposed in the literature from different disciplines, in interdisciplinary approaches, and used in practice with the intention of facilitating system conceptualisation. However, function models across disciplines are largely diverse addressing different function modelling perspectives and using different structures and...

Testing ground for bio-innovations

Scaled-up research is difficult to execute due to the amount of expensive equipment necessary for an individual party. DSM, CSM/Purac and TU Delft have therefore set up a consortium for research into biotechnological processes. With support from the EU and the Ministry of Economic Affairs, some 100 million euros is being invested in a pilot...

Grondwatereffecten aan de oppervlakte (gebracht): Onderzoek naar effecten van stopzetting grondwaterontrekking DSM Delft - Technisch rapport

Deze rapportage bevat de beschrijving van de afzonderlijke modellen en is om die reden opgebouwd uit 5 delen. Deel I beschrijft de totstandkoming van de geo(hydro)logie van de ondergrond. Daarbij wordt onderscheid gemaakt tussen Pleistoceen en Holoceen waarbij het Holoceen zowel regionaal als ook in meer detail lokaal is gemodelleerd. Het...

Designing a lean energy process for resin production, by alternative treatment of process water using freeze concentration or direct vapour incineration

Quickscan DSM-spoorzone: Verkenning van duurzame oplossingsrichtingen voor het waterbeheer in Delft en omgeving

Dit rapport is het resultaat van een verkennend onderzoek naar de effecten van de voorgenomen vermindering of stopzetting van de grondwaterwinning door DSM Gist in combinatie met de aanleg van de spoortunnel in Delft. Het onderzoek is uitgevoerd in opdracht van de gemeente Delft, Hoogheemraadschap van Delfland en de provincie Zuid-Holland door...
