Department of Chemical and Environmental Process Engineering
The Department of Chemical and Environmental Process Engineering (KKFT) has different research groups focusing on varying fields of chemical engineering.
From the field of environmental and process engineering the research focus is on separation systems, distillation, clean technologies and membrane separations. Another field is chemical technology and energetics, where the focus is on water technologies, waste water treatment and nuclear technologies. There is a group that focuses on catalysis, biomass-based technologies and green chemistry. In addition to these, there is a group working with extraction operations, studying traditional solid-liquid extractions, supercritical fluid extraction and separation of chiral compounds using supercritical fluids. Finally, there is a group working on statistical engineering and design of experiments. The Department has been completing numerous industrial projects on its main research fields.
The teaching of engineering is the most important in the Department. The laboratory practice in our pilot plant laboratory enables the students to ground and deepen their practical knowledge. The Department offers courses for students from other faculties, such as faculty of economic, mechanical engineering and transportation engineering.
Our most important industrial/research partners: MOL, BorsodChem, TVK, Olajterv, Paks Nuclear Power Plant, MTA MUKKI.
