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.
