AboutAbout the lab
Process design for a sustainable society
The Kansha Lab studies process design for building a sustainable energy society.
From the perspectives of both energy and the environment, the lab develops new processes and systems for industry and local communities.
Its work ranges from designing processes that recycle energy, to control for process operation, to data-driven optimization.
Key terms
- Process
- A series of steps and equipment that produces products or energy from raw materials
- Exergy
- The portion of energy that can actually be extracted as useful work. It represents the "quality" of energy
- Soft sensor
- A system that estimates, through calculation, a quantity that is difficult to measure directly, using other data that is easier to measure

ResearchResearch themes
Building a sustainable society requires considering both energy and the environment. The lab studies new processes and systems for this purpose through both theory and experiments.
*Illustrative imageDesign of energy-saving processes
In energy-intensive industrial processes, the lab designs processes that recycle energy and minimize exergy loss. Targets include separation, drying, reactors, and heat exchangers.
*Illustrative imageProcess control and measurement
The lab develops control systems for operating new processes at full industrial scale, as well as sensor technologies for measuring environmental information. This includes the design of soft sensors and self-powered wireless sensors.
*Illustrative imageOptimization and data analysis
The lab derives relationships among variables from data and determines optimal conditions. It optimizes systems such as hydrogen, biomass, and CO2 utilization, and also evaluates the impact on society when new processes are introduced.
