Research Profiles

Thus, development and optimisation of innovative processes is of particular importance in research and education and will be addressed by the new chair.

We would like to use our recognised competence in chemical-physical water treatment processes with focus on membrane and hybrid membrane processes in order to actively establish and expand membrane processes as one focus.

Another key aspect will be the use of new methods such as computational fluid dynamics (CFD). This applies not only to the simulation of flowing or stationary fluids and multi-phase systems, but also to the description of mass conversions and reaction processes and their coupling among each other. It is a promising field of ​​activity for future engineers, since the use of computer-aided applications is growing rapidly and there is a very high demand in the economy. Consequently, the chair provides training in the use of commercial software for the application and, in particular, interpretation of CFD methods in water management processes.
