Welcome to the CVT!
The Institute of Chemical Process Engineering at KIT investigates, teaches and develops new processes to chemically transform substances. In doing so, we focus primarily on chemical reaction engineering. We also develop and use models and CFD simulations so that we better understand how the reaction takes place. Based on this knowledge, we can design reactor internals and catalyst supports in a targeted manner and intensify material conversion processes.
The CVT welcomes Mo Becker (right) as a new member of staff at the institute. The workshop team together with Jürgen Kraft (left) is now complete again. Welcome to the team!
