enzymatic reactions and fermentation + systems for continuous
production of pharmaceuticals
• Design of PAT systems + biorefineries
• On-line monitoring of fermentation processes + continuous
organic synthesis, Process Analytical Technology
(pharmaceutical production)
• Benchmarking of control strategies for wastewater treatment
plants
Research Areas (PROCESS): 1-6
JW is the head of the PROCESS center and his main research
interests lie in the following topics:
• Next generation processes (integration of biocatalysis with
heterogeneous and homogeneous catalysis; processes based on
renewable; green chemistry; pharmaceutical processes; and,
biorefineries).
• Methodology (process intensification; reactor design; evaluation
methodologies)
Applications in chemical, biochemical (e.g. biotechnology,
fermentation technology, etc), pharmaceutical, food industries.
Research areas (PROCESS): 1-6
Micro process development in chemical engineering
ULKR is coordinating the research-development of
microtechnology, has gained significant importance in chemical
engineering. Topics of research interest:
• Micro scaled fluid dynamic properties and their influence on
chemical, biochemical and physical interactions
• Integration of different unit operations into a single step process
• Avoid the accumulation of inefficiencies of serial performed
processes
The starting point of the research will be a FTP project with the title
Novel greener and lean processes using integrated microfactories.
The project aims to demonstrate that fermentation and biocatalysis
can be integrated.
