With our many years of experience and state-of-the-art equipment - from highly specialized laboratories to powerful computer clusters - we offer you comprehensive solutions for the experimental investigation and calculation of processes and materials.

Our expertise covers the following areas:

• Micro-computed tomography for the detailed investigation of material structures
• Powder and suspension characterization: analysis of flow behaviour, rheology, mixing and demixing processes
• Optimization of transport and storage processes, including silos as well as pneumatic and hydraulic transport solutions
• Particle strength, abrasion and adhesion measurements for the assessment of mechanical properties
• Characterization of filter media, e.g. particle separation, cake formation and pressure loss Particle separation, cake formation and pressure loss
• Development of filtration and solid-liquid separation processes for different requirements
• Efficient dust separation using gas cyclones and the design of suitable filter technologies, including mask and filter media tests
• Sorting and fractionation processes in gas and liquid phases
• Particle analysis: Size, shape and charge determination
• Cost-efficient sensor technology for inline measurements of particle size and concentration
• Refinement of particles through coating, agglomeration and functionalization
• Thermal spraying processes for surface coating and functionalization of components
• PIV measurements and numerical simulations for multiphase processes (e. g. e.g. CFD, CFD-DEM)
• Simulation of powder flow and compaction processes for process optimization
