Research Partners
Collaboration
Bridging the gap between science and industrial practice.
The Pergande Group collaborates with universities, research institutions, and industry partners to further develop process engineering technologies. Key areas of focus include fluidized bed and drying technology, as well as the digitalization and energy-efficient design of industrial plants.
Hamburg University of Technology
Fluidized Bed Technology and Particle Technology
Pergande collaborates with the Institute for Solid-State Process Engineering and Particle Technology, headed by Prof. Stefan Heinrich, in the field of fluidized bed technology. The focus is on combining scientific findings with the development and industrial application of corresponding processes.
SETUp Industry Consortium
Energy Efficiency and Industrial Transformation
As part of the SETUp industry consortium, Pergande is working alongside other industrial companies to drive the transformation of energy-intensive industries in Saxony-Anhalt. The collaboration, initiated by Dr.-Ing. Franziska Sondej at Fraunhofer IFF, promotes the exchange of ideas on energy efficiency, waste heat utilization, and joint infrastructure concepts.
Fraunhofer IFF, Magdeburg
Digital Twins and Industrial Energy Systems
Pergande collaborates with the Fraunhofer Institute for Factory Operation and Automation (IFF) in the field of digital twins. Together with the Energy Systems and Infrastructures division, we aim to create model-based representations of production processes and their energy supply and to tap into efficiency potential at the site.
Otto von Guericke University Magdeburg
Fluidized Bed and Drying Technology
The collaboration with Prof. Evangelos Tsotsas and the Chair of Thermal Process Engineering at the Institute of Process Engineering builds on the Pergande Group’s longstanding relationship with the University of Magdeburg. Key areas of expertise include fluidized bed and drying technology, as well as the underlying heat and mass transfer processes.
