“A few years back I was a postdoc with CERE, but this is my first Discussion meeting at the industry side of the table.”
Linde Engineering focus on segments such as plants for the production of hydrogen and synthesis gas, oxygen and olefins as well as plants for natural gas treatment.
“In all these applications, thermodynamic modelling is highly relevant. I come here to be inspired both in terms of model development, new software, and ideas for potential collaborations. CERE is recognized as one of the leading chemical engineering groups in Europe. That’s also what motivated me to take a postdoc position here.”
Besides his new role as industry participant, Andreas Grenner points to another novelty this year:
“I find the new concept of combining the CERE content with contributions from the KT-Consortium interesting. It seems apparent that both consortia have similar interests. Yet, they also have some differences in their angles which may introduce new ideas both ways and create synergy. It is always healthy to get different perspectives. Having a joint event is definitely a good thing.”
