Funded Activity Summary

Scaleable Microstructured Chemical Process Systems. This project seeks to revolutionize the way bulk chemicals are made industrially. By combining highly integrated process designs, with profound process intensification, we will create the basis for chemical process technology that is efficient and economical at relatively small scale. This development will reinvigorate the Australian chemical industry, with enormous benefits to the country in terms of improved security of supply of chemicals and fuels and reduced trade deficit. This new type of plant will be scaleable and without the technical risk normally associated with plant scale-up. At the smallest scale, it will be mobile and able to utilise remote and dispersed feedstocks such as stranded natural gas, coal bed methane, or biogas.
