First and foremost, the chemistry consortium has set itself three major targets. It aims to demonstrate the technical feasibility of the F3 Factory concept at the technology center. Furthermore, the project participants want to show that F3 Factory-style processes are considerably more economical, eco-efficient and sustainable than conventional processes in continuously operating world-scale plants or those in small and medium sized batchplants. Additionally, advances in the joint development of modular plug-and-play technologies are targeted.
Nearly 4 Billion Euros Saved by "F3 Factory" "Innovative concepts of process intensification enormously increase energy and resource efficiencies. This leads to a more cost-effective and environmentally friendly manufacture of existing bulk and fine chemicals as well as to entirely new products with elevated added value", remarked Herbert von Bose, Director of Industrial Technologies, Directorate G of the European Commission Directorate-General for Research, as one justification for the funding decision." According to calculations of the consortium, the European chemical industry could reduce costs by about 3.75 billion euros just by switching existing production facilities over to the F3 Factory concept – while opening up new markets in the meantime.
The F3 Factory consortium consists of: Arkema, AstraZeneca, BASF, Bayer Technology Services, Britest, Buss-SMS-Canzler, Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique CNRS, Coatex, Technical University of Denmark, Ehrfeld Mikrotechnik BTS, Institut National Polytechnique de Lorraine - ENSIC, Evonik Degussa, Forschungszentrum Karlsruhe, Institute of Catalysis & Surface Chemistry PAS, Institute of Chemical Process Fundamentals, KTH Royal Institute of Technology, Process Design Center, Rhodia, RWTH Aachen University, Technische Universität Dortmund, Eindhoven University of Technology, University of Newcastle, University of Paderborn, Procter & Gamble, Ruhr-University Bochum. Its members stem from Belgium, the Czech Republic, Denmark, France, Germany, Netherlands, Poland, Sweden and the UK.
