About the Project
Cereal biorefineries will necessarily be part of the mix of sustainable chemical and energy providers in the 21st century. In competing with oil refineries, cereal biorefineries must adopt the fractionation-conversion paradigm operated by oil refineries in order to be economically competitive. Fractionation is necessary to allow the co-production of a range of products, which is necessary to be able to exploit extensive integration in order to achieve highly efficient processes. This project will continue well established work to model wheat fractionation via milling and pearling processes, and will incorporate this into simulations of cereal biorefineries.
Funding Notes
Candidates should have a first class or upper second class degree in chemical engineering, food science or a related discipline, and should be numerate
