The discipline is Process Engineering. All the aspects are, including the design, operation, control, and optimization of chemical, physical, and biological processes. Specific areas of application are the following:
-
Applied thermodynamics in chemical engineering;
-
Advance separation processes (e.g. membrane technology);
-
Treatment of gas and liquid streams;
-
Life cycle assessment;
-
Energy/Exergy analysis;
-
Process control;
-
Development / simulation / intensification of catalytic reactors / plants;
-
Reactor engineering;
-
Crystallization process development
-
Fluid dynamics (single and multiphase);
-
Bioconversion and biorefining processes;
-
Renewable materials / composites processing;
This list is subject to evolution with the activities of the teams involved, and the arrival of new members in the Centre.
