Program Type

N/A

Synopsis

Process intensification means effecting processes in a much smaller volume than is currently possible. In our research, we combine radical process intensification with novel designs to enable us to create new chemical processes that are highly efficient and economical at small and large scale. This scaleable technology is suitable for the distributed manufacture of chemicals and is already being deployed commercially for hydrogen production.
