Summary on Grant Application Form |
|
We propose to conduct an experimental and theoretical programme to evaluate and develop to an advanced level the technology of Oscillatory Flow Reactors as a new method for continuous chemical manufacturing. The program will be divided into four sub areas, namely process development, engineering science, process modelling, and technology transfer. Two companies, Croda chemicals Ltd and ADIBIS (BP Chemicals) are committed to the project and will contribute support. We believe that the success of this project will demonstrate that the technology is viable for the specific process applications where clear advantages are obtained, and that the case studies will offer a stepping stone to introducing the technology to a wider market.Keywords describing areas of proposal:Continuos processing, process intensification, novel manufacturing methods
