Rapid crystallization design platform based on a novel stereo-imaging probe with anti-fouling system

Objective

The aim of the project is to develop a novel low-cost intelligent crystallization visualization tool that enables the collection of
real-time stereo (or combined visible and infrared) images as well as prevents probe fouling by using a specially designed anti-fouling control system. With the additional software interface, with efficient image analysis approaches incorporated in the crystallization process informatics systems, the tool will be the first low-cost, real-time and in situ intelligent imaging tool, with built in crystallization control and design capabilities. With the specially designed anti-fouling system the probe will prevent encrust formation on the probe window, which is a typical problem for all imaging tools currently available on the market. Besides being an efficient and robust monitoring tool, the system will also enable users to readily apply state-of-the-art crystallization design and control approaches developed as part of the ERC CrySys: Crystallisation Systems Engineering – Towards a Next Generation of Intelligent Crystallisation Systems project, for the rapid design of crystallization processes, broadening the potential impact of the control technologies developed in the research.

Programme(s)

Multi-annual funding programmes that define the EU’s priorities for research and innovation.

Topic(s)

Calls for proposals are divided into topics. A topic defines a specific subject or area for which applicants can submit proposals. The description of a topic comprises its specific scope and the expected impact of the funded project.

Funding Scheme

Funding scheme (or “Type of Action”) inside a programme with common features. It specifies: the scope of what is funded; the reimbursement rate; specific evaluation criteria to qualify for funding; and the use of simplified forms of costs like lump sums.
