Fraunhofer ISE has been developing sustainable synthesis products for over 20 years. In the Department of Sustainable Synthesis Products our aim to increase the energy efficiency of thermochemical processes while simultaneously reducing the carbon dioxide and exhaust gas emissions to achieve nearly zero emission combustion.
With our innovative solutions in process technology, we contribute to the successful achievement of the global energy transition:
Economic and Sustainability Assessment:
Through own experimental investigations, expert interviews, literature research and in-house validated simulation models, we can provide our clients with a thorough assessment on the technological feasibility of innovative and energy-efficient processes. These are complemented by economic feasibility studies and life cycle assessments (LCA).
Design and Operation of Test Stands:
We precisely analyze the performance of commercially available and in-house developed catalysts at our own miniplant, which we can customize according to our clients’ wishes. We both design and operate test stands, if need be automated, in order to analyze the solid, liquid and gaseous products using state-of-the-art analytics.
Simulation tools:
In order to optimize the thermochemical processes, we use the following simulation programs for steady state and dynamic process simulation along the entire value chain up to and including sub-processes in specialized unit operations:
We also use Ansys® for computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations and Umberto® for life cycle assessments (LCA) and life cycle costing (LCC).
