Predicting performance from atomic through to reactor scales to improve industrial processes

Using chemistry and quantum calculation techniques, researchers at IFPEN have developed predictive kinetic models directly from atomic scale through to reactor scale without the need to parametrize reaction rate constants k. Applied in the field of processes and transport, these models have proved extremely promising for performance prediction.
