ÅA PCC Mission Detailed understanding of physico-chemical processes in environments of industrial importance in order to meet the needs of tomorrow’s process and product development
ÅA PCC Mission Detailed understanding of physico-chemical processes in environments of industrial importance in order to meet the needs of tomorrow’s process and product development We call our approach Molecular Process Technology
MolecularProcessTechnology • Parallel to other “molecular sciences”, Molecular Biology, Molecular Medicine • Molecular Process Technology should work on: • chemical phenomena and mechanisms at the molecular level • elementary reactions and interactions in complex industrial processes • process models based on detailed physico-chemical understanding • relevant molecular structures for industrial products • environmentally significant components discharged from processes
