The knowledge transfer project as part of the CRC/TR63, which was carried out in cooperation with BASF, aimed at developing a systematic design method for membrane-assisted distillation processes ran from 2017-2019 at the Laboratory of Fluid Separations at TU Dortmund and was funded via Prof. Dr.-Ing. Andrzej Górak by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG).

The focus of the collaborative project ESIMEM was the further development of solvent-stable nanofiltration (OSN) to a part of the "standard toolbox" within the conceptual process design. The project was realized in cooperation with RWTH Aachen, TU Berlin, as well as the Helmholtz-Zentrum Geestacht, Fraunhofer IKTS, FA. Junghans, Merck and Evonik from 2015-2018 on Laboratory of Fluid Separations at TU Dortmund and was funded by the Federal Ministry of Economics and Energy (BMWi) through Prof. Dr.-Ing. Andrzej Górak.

The project with the company AkzoNobel Industrial Chemicals B.V. was aimed at the development of a computer-aided phenomena-based tool for process synthesis. The main focus was on the direct generation of innovative intensified process solutions, using a model-based approach to flowsheet generation at the more fundamental level of basic phenomenological units instead of at the level of known basic operations. The project ran from 2014-2017 on Laboratory of Fluid Separations at TU Dortmund and was supported by the company AkzoNobel Industrial Chemicals B.V. (today Nouryon) through Prof. Dr.-Ing. Andrzej Górak.

The FP7 project INTERACT, in collaboration with 10 international partners, aimed to provide the technological basis for advanced CO2 capture for both large-scale power plants and other energy-intensive industries as well as for smaller emission sources. Using enzyme-catalyzed reactive absorption, polyionic liquid gas permeation membranes and membrane contactors, the project investigated various innovative materials. The project ran from 2013-2017 at the Laboratory of Fluid Separations at TU Dortmund and was funded via Prof. Dr.-Ing. Andrzej Górak. Dr.-Ing. Skiborowski took over the scientific management of the project and the lead of the research work at the TU Dortmund University from 2015.
