In the modern industrial processes it is important to produce high-quality products at low prices and minimal effect on environment. In most processes the costs of separation and purification become important and reactor performance and heat integration will therefore be of vital importance. The discipline also involves the demonstration of the liability of a product or a process through fundamental laboratory work, manifesting its usefulness in pilot scale and using the results to design and make a cost estimate for a full-scale process.
The following research topics are offered to the Chemical, Metallurgical, Pharmaceutical, Oil and Petrochemical industry:
• CFD - Computional Fluid Dynamics
• Flow Assurance/Natural Gas Hydrates
• Gas Cleaning and Emission Control
• Industrial Crystallisation
• Fiber Optical Techniques
• Membrane Technology
• Modelling of Unit Operation and Process Equipment
• Process Evaluation and Concept Studies
• Reactor Technology
• Recovery of Acid Gases (CO2, SO2)
