Technology Centre
Aims and objectives:
In the biological / process engineering Technical Centre of the Faculty of Medical & Life Sciences, both individual process engineering procedural steps and complete processes are carried out on a pilot plant scale.
Equipment:
- Plant for biological process engineering: bioreactors, various stirred tank reactors, multiple chamber fermenter, biogas reactors, incubators
- Plant for mechanical process engineering: membrane filtration, disk separator, homogenisor, agitator bead mill, mills,…
- Plant for thermal process engineering: rectification, adsorption, cristallization, extraction,…
- Plant for special areas of application: series of stirred tanks, torrefaction, photooxidation,…
- Process Analytics Lab (HPLC, laser diffraction particle analyzer, …)
Practicals, student work:
Students can individually plan, carry out and evaluate various process steps or parts of processes directly on the plant, and use analytical methods during the process.
