| Use of microstructure devices in chemical process engineering | IMVT cooperates since 2005 with the company BASF SE in the field of micro process engineering in the frame of a licensing agreement. The goal is an evaluation of various microstructured devices developed by the Institute unter industrial conditions. In the focus are both applications in process development and in the production of chemicals. |

| Development of a technical H2 membrane reactor | KIT, Linde AG and Plansee SE worked together from 2009 to 2013 on the development of novel porous metal supported composite palladium membranes for use in an integrated palladium membrane reformer for small-capacity hydrogen production by steam reforming of natural gas. Results from this cooperation are reported, for example, in the doctoral thesis of Benjamin Dittmar entitled "Entwicklung eines technischen H2-Membranreaktors" (KIT, 2013, in German) and in a scientific publication (Dittmar et al., Int. J. Hydr. Energy 38, 2013, 8759-8771, doi:10.1016/j.ijhydene.2013.05.030). |
