Equipment

The chair has various equipment for experimental and theoretical analysis of reactive and non-reactive multiphase processes. Our facilities allow for comprehensive research on hydrodynamics, mass transfer, reaction kinetics at high temperature and pressures of up to 150 bar. Additionally, we have commercial software tools for process simulation, flow simulation and plant design.
