Knowledge of the physicochemical properties of fluids, such as viscosity, is fundamental for the development of processes in a broad variety of fields.
IFPEN has been working on the development of innovative processes and catalysts for the conversion of lignocellulosic biomass into biofuels and bio-based molecules for over a decade.
