Lincoln views this trend as opening doors to cross-sector collaboration, particularly in areas like distributed power generation and advanced manufacturing.
It follows that if we can accumulate data about what our clients are seeking to achieve and analyse the data to generate insights to inform our design process, the better the result will be.. UNDERSTANDING COMPLEX PHARMACEUTICAL AND INDUSTRIAL PROCESSES.At Bryden Wood we have many industrial clients who are concerned with transforming raw materials into new products through complex processes.
Our data analysts engage directly with clients to collect information about their processes and produce complex time-based models to simulate them and quantify the required inputs and resulting outputs..This analytical work is diverse, ranging from a recent optimisation study for a pharmaceutical plant in Singapore, to a strategy for scaling up commercial supply of a new product, to investigating the likely production timescales for a future COVID-19 vaccine..Some might say that it is the role of the client to understand their process and of course that is correct.
However, a client is generally interested only in the process, its technical feasibility and ability to achieve their business needs.We are interested in designing a built envelope that houses the process in the most efficient way.. DATA ANALYSIS INFORMS ENGINEERING AND DESIGN.
The only way we can do this effectively is by analysing the process.
For example, the size and quantity of raw materials needed to produce the required volume of product will determine the size of the warehouse.The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) states that a considerable proportion of our energy production should come from nuclear; and that the nuclear energy capability needs to be increased significantly (up to sixfold) if we are to curb global warming sufficiently to avoid the worst scenarios.. 7.
Given the scale and urgency of the decarbonisation challenge, we need to look carefully at the evidence about the impact and likelihood of the undesirable elements of nuclear power, and the evidence around the effects of continuing to rely on fossil fuels (more specifically the future of coal).We should not simply pit nuclear against renewables; nuclear and renewable energy technologies will have to work alongside each other.
If we do not consider the benefits of nuclear power, then any demand that cannot be provided by renewables will have to be met by the continued use of fossil fuels..Replacing coal: a safe, reliable, sustainable path to clean energy.
