Advanced process engineering for resource-efficient production. When producing products, we want to optimize the use of resources such as raw materials, energy, equipment for the desired product quality and production speed. This is a complex task and one way is to use model-based computational techniques. Advanced process engineering involves first developing a reliable mathematical model of the

Absorption of carbon dioxide occurs in several processes. In the production of biogas or synthetic natural gas from biomass, carbon dioxide must be removed from the produced gas before it can be used as a vehicle fuel or injected into the natural gas network. In the chemical industry, there is often a need to separate carbon dioxide from gas streams. Carbon dioxide capture can also be used for Car

The Division of Chemical Engineering has a long history in biorefinery. The work is driven by society's need to reduce the use of fossil raw materials. Production of chemicals from biomassThe research uses different types of biomass, mainly lignocellulose from trees, as a raw material for the production of chemicals. The conversion can be done by both thermochemical and biochemical processes. The
