• Title: Online optimization for chemical reactions.

• Others partners: CEISAM .

The SmartCat project, started in 2015 on regional fundings, aims at developing an intelligent automatised tool for online chemistry. Contrarily to the traditional batch chemistry, where reactants are mixed in a glass, online chemistry consists in having a flow of reactants in a tube, possibly passing through ovens are pressure control mechanisms. This way, the reaction happens continuously and it can produce much more products within a system of reasonable size. SmartCat integrates a controller for which intelligent tools need to be developed. These tools will analyse the product of the reaction and adapt the conditions (stoechiometry, pressure, temperature, catalysis) in order to optimise the yield. TASC contributes to this project by developing these methods, based on local search techniques.
