Research

Process intensification - experimental analysis and model-based evaluation

  • Combination/Integration of reaction and separation (reactive absorption and distillation, membrane reactors)
  • Hybrid separation processes (membrane- and solvent-assisted separation processes)
  • Innovative separation processes (Rotating Packed Beds and organic solvent nanofiltration)
  • Additive manufacturing (development of packings through 3D printing)

Mathematical modelling, simulation and optimization of (bio-)chemical production processes

  • Modelling (Model discrimination and parameter estimation, model reduction and hybrid models)
  • Process synthesis (automatic thermodynamic-based flowsheet generation)
  • Optimization-based process design (polylythic modelling and solution appraoch, hybrid optimization methods)
