Sonication and Microwave Processing of Material Feedstock (SIMPLIFY) responds to the EU Horizon 2020 call SPIRE-02-2018 and is an innovation action in which leading European industries and university groups in process intensification, ultrasound, microwave, multiphase processes, polymerization and crystallization team up to address the domain of electrification of chemical industry. In four years, a consortium of 11 European organizations, led by KU Leuven, will focus on intensified processes, where alternative energy sources enable flexible continuous technologies to achieve localized ultrasound and microwave actuation of multiphase, flow reactors powered by electricity from renewable sources for the purpose of high-value product synthesis.
Start Date: 1st November 2018
Duration: 48 months
Budget: 8.5 million €
Coordinator: Prof. Tom Van Gerven, KU Leuven, Belgium
At the core of the SIMPLIFY project are the three case-studies, serving as representatives for process classes of high importance in the chemical industry: one in the domain of reactive extrusion (class of processes involving viscous streams), the other two in the domain of reactive crystallization (class of processes involving suspensions). Each of these case-studies is of interest to one industrial end-user in the project. These end-users are in charge of the industrial validation and demonstration on-site. The three case-studies are supported by both generic and applied research on the enabling technologies: US, MW and process control. In addition to the process technology-oriented activities, the sustainability and techno-economic improvement are investigated that can be reached by transitioning from a batch process to an US/MW-assisted continuous process. This activity supports in making technical decisions of where the processes can benefit most from US and MW activation.
