Simulation Helps Develop Better Household Products

VINCENZO GUIDA, PROCTER & GAMBLE, POMEZIA, ITALY

My role as an R&D process design engineer in Procter & Gamble, Fabric and Home Care Division, is to design reliable and cost-effective manufacturing processes for large volumes of detergents and laundry additive products. Complex multi-component mixtures with chemical and physical properties requiring detailed processes to manufacture properly, the household products have complicated and anomalous behaviors that pose many challenging engineering problems.
