LACRE’s objectives
- The LACRE develops the technology of structured HEX reactors. It aims at promoting through R&D actions a speed up of the ‘time to market’ of this technology for its dissemination and its integration towards the industry.
Applications – markets
The LACRE targets the dissemination and integration of HEX reactors; (i) in Power to Gas and Power to Liquid systems for the conversion of excesses of intermittent renewable energies, (ii) but also for process intensification in chemistry.
Our technologies
- HEX reactors allows a higher energy integration of processes. Assembling by diffusion bonding technology ensures high mechanical strength and durability.
LACRE’s technical tools
- The LACRE has technical tools from ATMOSTAT and from the CEA. The tools are the follows: modelling, simulation, design, machining, assembling of HEX reactors and tests.
