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.
New publication from a collaboration between KIT, TU Clausthal and the Uni Bremen on developing a highly efficient Ni-Co catalyst for Dry Reforming of Methane (DRM). A specific Ni40Co60 composition exhibits exceptional DRM activity and shows promising features for induction heating.

The Institute of Chemical Process Engineering visited Achema in Frankfurt a. M. on June 12, 2024 with 15 students from the Faculty of Chemical Engineering. Achema is the world's largest process industry trade fair for chemical engineering, process technology and biotechnology. The companies Sulzer, Ekato and B.E.S.T Fluidsysteme (Swagelok) gave exclusive insights into current technology and future applications. Many thanks for the guided tours and the diverse impressions.
