Research
The aim of the group is to explore the applicability of the novel meso-OFR, based on Smooth Periodic Constrictions (SPC) geometry, in different fields, such as crystallisation, bioprocess, extraction, etc. For that the group is focus on the following topics:
-
explore flow field and mixing in different OFR geometries;
-
control nucleation and crystal growth in continuous flow;
-
bioprocess intensification;
-
online image analysis technique (IA) ;
-
OFR scale-up studies.
Projects
The research projects have been developed in different fields, like:
-
continuous crystallization of active pharmaceutical ingredients and proteins;
-
antibodies crystallization -Immunoglobulin G (IgG);
-
bioreactors optimisation;
-
extraction optimisation;
-
solids mixing and drying;
-
and, education.
Partners
The meso-oscillatory flow reactors (meso-OFR) research line is associated with different national and international research groups, institutions and industries.
Our research is funded by national and European research programs.
