The RaES foundation has as its main goal the stimulation of chemical engineering education and research.
This goal is achieved by giving coarses, setup of projects and the implementation of knowledge into new products and processes.
The Raes foundation was founded in 1997 in Groningen (the Netherlands). Its main goal was to host research and educational activities performed in the working group of dr. ir. R.A. de Graaf and non-university parties.
During the period of 1997 until now the following activities were performed
Courses and education on the following subjects
Polymer Extrusion
Technology and rheology
2) Separation technology
Research
1) Reactive extrusion
research togather with the Sensus/Cosun group
2) BioPac: EC research with respect to developing films made of biodegradable
plastics
3) Developing simulation software to predict the behaviour of reactive separtion
processes
4) Buss-loop reactor behaviour
5) Develop simulation software for the chemical engineering industry
6) Develop coarses with respect to chemical engineering topics
