The Engineering Process Intensification and Catalysis (EPIC) laboratory at Polytechnque Montréal combines highly driven and ambitious individuals who are able to work at the research/ industry interface as well as to advance fundamental knowledge. Our team includes students, young researchers and professionals with a diverse background in Chemical, Mechanical, Materials, Bioresource and Civil Engineering, as well as in Chemistry, Biochemistry, Physiology and Medicine.
We are constantly looking and accepting new strategic partnerships whose values align wth ours.
We seek to design sustainable solutions, being these for chemical processes, material synthesis or biomedical applications. We think “outside of the box” and look to innovate while meeting financial contsraints and economies of scales, so as to create success stories out of them.
CANADA RESEARCH CHAIR IN INTENSIFIED MECHANO-CHEMICAL PROCESSES FOR SUSTAINABLE BIOMASS CONVERSION
The objective of the CRC in Intensified Mechano-Chemical Processes for Sustainable Biomass Conversion is to maximize process productivity while minimizing the size and energy requirements of the energy-intensive chemical industry, by applying alternative energy sources such as ultrasound, microwaves and hydrodynamic cavitation. The main expected benefit is the reduction of GHG emissions by shortening the time-to-market of biomass based technologies. The CRC in Intensified Mechano-Chemical Processes for Sustainable Biomass Conversion merges the technological gap between heterogeneous catalysis and process intensification by finding and exploiting synergies that reduce the energy requirements of processes that transform biomass.
