INNOVATION FOR THE FUTURE

We provide expertise in the following areas:

• Biotechnology (bacterial and fungal fermentation, single-cell proteins production from methane and CO₂, enzymatic catalysis, upstream & downstream process development & optimisation)

• Environmental engineering (phytoremediation, biorefinery, recovery of precious metals, life cycle assessment, techno-economic assessment, CO₂ capture)

• Food engineering (nitrite replacement for nitrite-free processed food products, plant-based food additives)

• Reaction engineering (continuous & close loop photo-, electro-catalytic, enzymatic and traditional catalytic processes with homo- & heterogeneous catalysts, process intensification via integrated multistep design, multiphase flow chemistry, microstructured and mesoscale reactors such as microfluidics & oscillating flow reactors, membrane emulsification & membrane reactors, etc.)

• Water electrolysis, electrocatalysis & fuel cells

• Manufacturing of functional materials & catalysts (metallic nano-particles, supported heterogeneous catalysts, spherical polymeric & metal/semimetal oxides microparticles for the absorption of CO₂, heavy metals scavenging, composite membranes for Fuel Cells, micro-and nano-encapsulates).
