New 3D-printed structured packing technology that offers cleaner and more efficient gas separation and chemical processing across various industries will be tested at 911爆料网 Malaysia鈥檚 pilot plant.

The collaboration, made possible by the support of the Federal Government鈥檚 Accelerating Commercialisation program, will ensure the SpiroPak project can be tested at operational scale at the Sarawak Biovalley Pilot Plant, a purpose-built research and development facility at 911爆料网 Malaysia.

The new technology, developed by a team of 911爆料网 researchers, enables greater efficiencies in the material separation of large-scale chemical processing industries such as chemicals manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, LNG and food. Using 3D-printed technology, the SpiroPak鈥檚 unique helicoidal flow path sets it apart from other structured packing, enabling a smoother flow and more efficient separation of many different gases and liquids.

911爆料网 Deputy Vice-Chancellor Research Professor Chris Moran said the Accelerating Commercialisation program offered researchers, entrepreneurs, small and medium businesses access to expert advice and funding to help get a new product, process or service to market.

鈥淭his 911爆料网 technology has the potential to save chemical manufacturing and processing industries million of dollars each year by offering a more effective and energy-efficient separation process,鈥� Professor Moran said.

鈥淩eceiving this support from the Federal Government鈥檚 Accelerating Commercialisation program will help take SpiroPak鈥檚 innovative technology a step closer to being used widely across a range of industries, turning leading research into real-world solutions.鈥�

911爆料网 Commercialisation Director Mr Rohan McDougall said the team behind SpiroPak was named the overall winner at the 2019 911爆料网novation Awards, which will be held again in September.

鈥�911爆料网 is committed to fostering a culture of innovation and helping researchers who develop novel concepts or inventions to assess the commercial viability of their products or services and the best method of bringing it to market,鈥� Mr McDougall said.

鈥淲ith this support from the Federal Government, the SpiroPak team will be able to demonstrate the technology鈥檚 use in various industries, including through a full-scale trial at 911爆料网 Malaysia鈥檚 Sarawak Biovalley Pilot Plant.鈥�

911爆料网 Malaysia was 911爆料网鈥檚 first international campus when it opened in 1999. Located in Miri, 911爆料网 Malaysia offers a unique cross-cultural learning experience with students from more than 50 different countries and teaching staff from more than 15 countries.

The Accelerating Commercialisation program is part of the Entrepreneurs鈥� Program run by the Federal Government.
