FORSKNINGSAKTIVITETER
Instituttets forskning er knyttet til problemstillinger man finner i norsk og utenlandsk kjemisk prosessindustri. Forskningen er dels av typen grunnleggende teknisk forskning og dels anvendt teknisk forskning. Den grunnleggende forskning gjenspeiles i stor grad i dr.ing.-arbeidene, og for tiden har instituttet ca. 60 dr.ing.studenter(Oversikt over doktorgrader ved instituttet). Forskningen drives i stor grad i samarbeid med SINTEF, PFI, industrien og internasjonale forskningsmiljøer.
