Chemical Process Engineering Research Institute, a non-profit research and technological development (RTD) organization was founded in 1985 in Thessaloniki, Greece. In March 2000, Chemical Process Engineering Research Institute became a founding member of a new research center, the Center for Research and Technology-Hellas (CERTH), established in Thessaloniki and administered by the General Secretariat for Research and Innovation (GSRT) of the then Ministry of Development & Investment.
The development strategy of CPERI has been based on establishing strategic collaborations with leading international industrial corporations, developing strong links with Research Centers and Universities, and contributing to the training of young scientists and engineers in state-of-the-art technologies. Acting as a catalyst of regional development CPERI is also consistently pursuing strong interactions and collaborations with small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in Greece.
CPERI/CERTH’s mission is to conduct high caliber basic and applied research, to develop novel technologies and products and to pursue scientific and technological excellence in selected advanced areas of Chemical Engineering, including Clean Energy, Environment and Climate, Sustainable Industry and Bioengineering, in response to the needs of the Greek and European industrial and productive sector.
Role in Bio-FlexCLC Project:
CERTH is responsible for leading the computational fluid dynamics (CFD) campaign of WP2 that will aid the design of a post-oxidation chamber and contribute to fuel-reactor optimization.
