Technische Universiteit Eindhoven

Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e) is a research university specializing in engineering science & technology. Our education, research and knowledge valorization contribute to:

• science for society: solving the major societal issues and boosting prosperity and welfare by focusing on the Strategic Areas of Energy, Health and Smart Mobility;
• science for industry: the development of technological innovation in cooperation with industry;
• science for science: progress in engineering sciences through excellence in key research cores and innovation in education.

The research group Sustainable Process Engineering, is part of the faculty of Chemical Engineering and Chemistry at the Eindhoven University of Technology. The main objective of the research group is the development of novel integrated reactor concepts (such as Membrane Reactors, micro reactors, structured catalysts and reactors) based on improved fundamental knowledge using validated advanced (multi-phase) reactor models. This is achieved by employing a combination of state-of-the-art numerical models (at different levels of detail using the multi-level modelling approach), advanced (non-invasive) experimental techniques and experimental demonstration of novel reactor concepts (proof of concept).

Main task and responsibilities:

The SPE group is involved in the development of sorbents and reactors for sorption enhanced ammonia synthesis; modeling of the intensified reactors for ammonia synthesis and scaleup design of the system.
