In Honor of Professor Luis Puigjaner
I
t is both a distinct pleasure and a privilege for us to present this Festschrift in honor of Professor Luis Puigjaner, in recognition of his life-long contribution to chemical and process systems engineering. Professor Luis Puigjaner was born in Barcelona, Spain, in an entrepreneur’s family environment with direct links to the process industry. Combining technical and humanistic background, and after holding several research positions in different engineering and research institutions, he developed the most significant part of his professional career at the School of Engineering of the Technical University of Catalonia (UPC), in Barcelona, Spain. There, he created and led, for more than 30 years, the UPC research team on Design, Operation and Control of Chemical and Biotechnology Processes, which has grown to involve more than 35 researchers and became the Centre for Process and Environmental Engineering (CEPIMA) in 2004. His leadership has enabled the formation of many other research groups in areas related to process systems engineering, within UPC and also in other institutions and research centers. His research interests are, and always were, multifaceted, as a thread of simulation and optimization of process systems. To begin with, in 1965, he became part of a NASA aerospace telecommunications unit led by Dr. Robert Sheldon at the University of Houston. At this time, multiplexing systems already existed, but interchannel crosstalk was a major problem in manned space flights. Luis developed a new framework for a fast and reliable telecommunications system in real time. In 1967, he became a research member of the Higher Council for Scientific Research (CSIC) in Spain, where he worked with Prof. Juan A. Subirana. Here, he became interested in the r 2011 American Chemical Society
potential of computer applications in modeling macromolecular structures, leading to the first development of the tertiary structure of the nucleoprotamine. In the next years, he carried out an intensive research activity, collaborating with Professor Struther Arnott and his group at Purdue University, regarding the prediction of the rich variety of DNA configurations that met steric restraints and the X-ray intensity constraints given by the X-ray diffraction pattern. Focused on the Process Systems Engineering area, and in parallel with the integration of supporting techniques and software to this field, he later worked on the development and characterization of polymers and plastics, and in the optimization of chemical and biotechnological processes, food technology, and environmental engineering. In all these topics, his work has given special emphasis to the development and use of systematic tools to improve/ optimize the design and management of industrial processes. In a time when the capabilities of the available computer-aided tools did not facilitate this task, he developed intensive research work that was focused on plant predesign and retrofitting, scheduling, production planning, and online control and optimization, particularly in relation with the use of computers to achieve these functions. Moreover, when the tools for applying such systematic procedures to continuous process were mature, he pursued their Special Issue: Puigjaner Issue Received: March 18, 2011 Accepted: March 23, 2011 Published: April 27, 2011 4801

Industrial & Engineering Chemistry Research extension to the area of multipurpose batch/semicontinuous operations and hybrid processes. In this specific subject, Prof. Puigjaner has been a pioneer in the development and application of several classes of computer-aided tools (simulation, scheduling, design, optimal operations, etc.), and especially in their application to industrial scenarios, overcoming modeling limitations and delivering practical solutions to cases of real size (thousands of products) and complexity (including human resources management, unexpected events, low quality models, financial constraints, etc.). As a result of his clear view of industrial requirements and their practical implications, he has also been a pioneer in solving real practical problems. Examples include the management of sock manufacturing machinery, which is a large-scale problem involving thousands of options, or the design of large water-distribution systems. It is in these problems, and also the traditional ones, where his vision extended beyond the availability of tools and his ingenuity helped craft novel methods at a time when optimization as well as the specific field of scheduling and design were using simple, sometimes unreliable, tools. Another PSE area where Prof. Puigjaner’s contribution has been significant is the development, as well as experimental validation, of detailed models for the design of complex chemical engineering reaction and separation systems, including product recovery strategies looking for minimum avoidable pollution. In this specific area, it is worthwhile to mention the activity of Prof. Puigjaner in the development of kinetic models of gasification processes, which leads to improved gasification reactor’s design and novel processes for cleaning and/or conditioning the resulting products, opening new possibilities for the valorization of low-quality fuels and waste materials. In all cases, new design, management, and control paradigms were developed, and some of them were implemented through software applications, demonstrating, in multiple industrial sites, the practical applicability and the benefits (in terms of productivity, energy savings, better use of resources, environmental impact reduction, etc.) resulting from the application of the different concepts, methodologies, and tools developed in these research fields. His involvement in research and technology development (RTD) projects has been funded both through public institutions and private companies that were willing to apply innovative results to real problems. Professor Puigjaner has been the responsible scientist and coordinator in 45 projects of international dimension, funded by the European Union (EU) and/or other international organizations (in the framework of research, development, and/or training programs such as JOULE, ESPRIT, BRITE, IMS, TEMPUS, ECSC, APAS, GROWTH, INCO, etc.), 37 Spanish research publicly funded projects, and over 100 other projects funded by private industries. More evidence of the significance of his contributions can be established through the reporting of the findings, methodologies, and advances in the state of the art resulting from these RTD projects: Prof. Puigjaner is the author of more than 500 papers in scientific journals and conference proceedings and 10 technical/ scientific books. He is also the author of more than 200 technical reports. Professor Puigjaner has a profound attitude of service: he has been the director of the Chemical Engineering Department at UPC for 6 years, and he has been chairman in more than 80 sessions at national and international meetings on various topics in chemical/process systems engineering. Finally, Prof. Puigjaner’s activity as a postgraduate research supervisor has also been outstanding. He has supervised 51 Ph.D. theses in PSE-related areas, 7 of them having obtained the “PhD Excellence Award” by UPC. The actual UPC “Chemical Process
EDITORIAL
Engineering” doctorate program was created by his initiative, and it has received the Honorary Mention of “Doctorate of Quality” by the Spanish Ministry of Education and Science since 2004. Historical records of his Ph.D. students reveals that 5 of them have occupied high-ranking positions in the national administrations (e.g., Director General for Scientific and Technological Research), 14 are teaching in prestigious universities and research centers (UPC, URV, CSIC, MIT, UNAM, UIS, Central University of Venezuela), and the majority occupy top levels of technical and managerial responsibilities in the industrial sector. After more than 40 years of prolific dedication to RTD activities, Prof. Luis Puigjaner is definitely Spain’s most recognizable pioneer and leader in the field of process systems engineering, as well as an excellent ambassador of the PSE community at the international scale, having received different awards and recognitions, including the Long-Term Achievements Award from the CAPE Working Party of the European Federation of Chemical Engineering, for his outstanding contributions to this area. Now, as Emeritus Professor of Chemical Engineering at the Technical University of Catalonia, every day, he continues to demonstrate his exceptional capacity to lead PSE RTD projects, proposing new groundbreaking ideas, applying innovative concepts, questioning established paradigms and, in summary, pushing new generations of engineers and scientists toward innovative directions. On behalf of all his colleagues and former students, it is a great pleasure and honor for us to dedicate this special issue of Industrial & Engineering Chemistry Research (I&ECR) to Prof. Luis Puigjaner, an inspiring scientist, a dedicated teacher and researcher, and a leading engineer and person. ~a Antonio Espun Universitat Politecnica de Catalunya, Barcelona, Spain
