Microstructured Process Systems

Steam Reformer detail

Steam Reformer Detail - Chemical Reaction Engineering for Microstructured Process Systems

Our projects are to develop miniaturised chemical plant for:

  • Biodiesel production
  • Liquid fuels from biomass
  • Methanol synthesis
  • Ultra-clean combustion

Approaches and techniques are:

  • Experimental measurements and detailed chemical modelling of gas-phase and catalytic reactions.
  • Studies of flows and heat transfer in microchannels, using microvisualisation techniques and computational fluid dynamics (CFD).
  • Process design of highly integrated process systems.
  • Pilot plant development, operation and analysis
