Maximilian Kattner - APT - TU Dortmund

Location & approach

By Car

The campus of the Technical University of Dortmund is located near the freeway junction Dortmund West, where the Sauerland line A45 crosses the Ruhr expressway B1/A40. The Dortmund-Eichlinghofen exit on the A45 leads to the South Campus, the Dortmund-Dorstfeld exit on the A40 leads to the North Campus. The university is signposted at both exits.

By bus and train

The "Dortmund Universität" S-Bahn station is located directly on the North Campus. From there, the S-Bahn line S1 runs every 15 or 30 minutes to Dortmund main station and in the opposite direction to Düsseldorf main station via Bochum, Essen and Duisburg. In addition, the university can be reached by bus lines 445, 447 and 462. Timetable information can be found on the homepage of the Rhine-Ruhr Transport Association, and DSW21 also offer an interactive route network map.

The H-Bahn

One of the landmarks of the TU Dortmund is the H-Bahn. Line 1 runs every 10 minutes between Dortmund Eichlinghofen and the Technology Center via Campus South and Dortmund University S, while Line 2 commutes every 5 minutes between Campus North and Campus South. It covers this distance in two minutes.

By Airplane

From Dortmund Airport, the AirportExpress takes just over 20 minutes to Dortmund's main train station, and from there, the S-Bahn takes you to the university. A wider range of international flight connections is offered by Düsseldorf Airport, about 60 kilometers away, which can be reached directly by S-Bahn from the university's train station.

Field of Research

Slug Flow Crystallization

While batch crystallization remains the standard approach in industrial crystallization, the use of continuous crystallizers is promising in terms of investment and operating costs, process control and flexibility for chemicals and APIs with low production volumes.

One such concept for continuous crystallizers is the slug flow crystallizer (SFC) which is characterized by liquid segmentation through a gaseous phase. Combined with the internal circulation within the resulting liquid slugs, the SFC ensures the achievement of increased product quality within short process times.

The project, which is being carried out in collaboration with the Chair of Process Automation Systems, aims to achieve autonomous process control of an SFC, ensuring precise particle size distribution and high yields while preventing fouling of the apparatus.
