LGPM

LGPM is involved in two closely interrelated fields of investigation: Chemical Engineering / Bioprocesses and Materials Science. Experimentation, modelling and simulation are the common pillars of all our research topics. This complementarity enables us to start from the understanding of microscopic phenomena, leading to the simulation, optimization and intensification of transformation and elaboration processes. Upscaling and multi-scale approaches are therefore often at the heart of our activities and constitute the preferred means of transfer from academic studies to industrial applications. Alongside the construction of these knowledge-driven models, the laboratory is also involved in the development of data-driven digital twins for process control.

Our know-how, soundly rooted in chemical engineering, is applied to sustainable production (material and energy savings, optimization and intensification, decarbonization, materials recovery and recycling, plastics recycling) and the use of renewable resources (biogenic carbon, industrial biotechnologies, bio-based materials).
