All industrialists need tools for characterising the behaviour of their products or separation devices under different conditions to determine the optimum. The knowledge acquired is always accompanied by technological developments by the associated OEMs. Once proof of concept of new characterisation methods and materials developed to implement them has been provided, IFTS is likely to be able to transfer the resulting technologies and products to companies, the region and the national territory. 15 research projects are proposed on 4 different themes totalling approximately 8000 hours of work.
