PRESTIGE-Process & Energy Systems Engineering Center

About

Process and Energy Systems Engineering (PRESTIGE) is established within Department of Chemical Engineering, CUI-Lahore in collaboration with “Process System Engineering Center (PROSPECT) – UniviersitiTeknologi Malaysia (UTM), Malaysia”.

Mission

Engineering Sustainability

Vision

In meeting the modern-day process engineering challenges marked by volatile energy prices and rising concern on climate change, PRESTIGE will strive to “engineer sustainability” by providing comprehensive and innovative solution through R & D, consultancy services and trainings. PRESTIGE’s ultimate aim is process intensification, i.e. the creation of cleaner, safer, energy-efficient, cost-effective and sustainable process systems. PRESTIGE’s tagline, “Engineering Sustainability” reflects its core philosophy and expertise in the creation and engineering of sustainable products, process and energy systems.
