Summary on Grant Application Form
The objective of the proposed programme of pre-competitive research is to progress the application of a novel inertial microbalance system to catalytic cracking in order to address a number of issues of direct commercial relevance to BP Oil International. The microbalance will be located in Dr L F Gladdens's group in the Chemical Engineering Department, University of Cambridge. Rapid on-line monitoring of reaction products will be provided by interfacing a GCMS with Time Micromass UK limited. In combination with sophisticated modeling techniques that will be developed in Dr Soweby's group in the Chemical Engineering Department, University of Bath, a substantial extension to current approaches should be possible.
