Solid-liquid separation 


The main research topics are characterisation of slurries, their filtration, and post-treatment processes. Experimental work focuses on the development of reliable measurement systems for industrial applications. Simulation models for solid-liquid separation are developed for scale-up and control purposes.

Another research topic is shape feature extraction and the effects of particle shape on particulate processes. The program also covers selection of equipment using expert systems.
