ÅA PCC Mission
Detailed understanding of physico-chemical processes in environments of industrial importance in order to meet the needs of tomorrow’s process and product development
We call our approach Molecular Process Technology
August 26, 2011 *

4. Molecular Process Technology*
07/16/96
Molecular Process Technology
Parallel to other “molecular sciences”, Molecular Biology, Molecular Medicine
Molecular Process Technology should work on:
chemical phenomena and mechanisms at the molecular level
elementary reactions and interactions in complex industrial processes
process models based on detailed physico-chemical understanding
relevant molecular structures for industrial products
environmentally significant components discharged from processes
