The Industrial Processes Lab at the PELM Centre, CQU-Gladstone carries out Research and Consultancy work and provides technical expertise in the area of Process Engineering with the emphasis on fluid flow related problems.
The quality of the final product, the productivity of a process plant and its maintenance expenditure are largely determined by the reactions taking place in the flowing liquid, e.g. gibbsite precipitation, aluminium degassing and refining, corrosion etc. Many of those reactions are diffusion controlled, hence the velocity and flow patterns of liquid are the chief factors determining the rate of reaction, and also influence to a large extent the physical and chemical properties of a product. Thus our main aim is to contribute to the quality of products and the minimisation of running costs of the local industry through the optimisation of fluid flow parameters.
