Kernan Freire, S. (author), Wang, C.W. (author), Foosherian, Mina (author), Wellsandt, Stefan (author), Ruiz-Arenas, Santiago (author), Niforatos, E. (author)Recent advances in natural language processing enable more intelligent ways to support knowledge sharing in factories. In manufacturing, operating production lines has become increasingly knowledge-intensive, putting strain on a factory's capacity to train and support new operators. This paper introduces a Large Language Model (LLM)-based system...journal article 2024

Jankovic, T.J. (author), Straathof, Adrie J.J. (author), Kiss, A.A. (author)Isobutanol is a highly attractive renewable alternative to conventional fossil fuels, with superior fuel properties as compared to ethanol and 1-butanol. Even though the isobutanol production by fermentation has significant potential, complex downstream processing is limiting the wide-spreading of this technology. Accordingly, this original...journal article 2024

Jankovic, T.J. (author), Straathof, Adrie J.J. (author), McGregor, Ian R. (author), Kiss, A.A. (author)Distillation is the most used separation technology at industrial-scale, but using distillation in bio-based processes (e.g. fermentation processes to produce bioethanol) is quite challenging when mild temperatures are needed to keep the microbes alive. Vacuum distillation can be used to perform evaporation at low temperatures, but setting a...journal article 2024

Jankovic, T.J. (author), Straathof, Adrie J.J. (author), Kiss, A.A. (author)PDO (1,3-propanediol) is a platform chemical that is obtained by petrochemical routes and by fermentation. The latter needs relatively complex downstream processing after fermentation, due to the modest concentration of the high-boiling product, and the presence of microorganisms and many impurities in the fermentation medium. This novel...journal article 2024
