From Faculty of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering contributing two laboratories: The Laboratory of Process Systems Engineering and Sustainable Development is specialized in the optimization of processes and entire supply chains, and development of new production procedures, tools and technologies and The Laboratory for Separation Processes and Product Design. FKKT UM will lead WP1 on value chain synthesis and WP3 on the chemical conversions. It will also contribute to WP4 on the techno-economic, environmental and social performance assessment.

The project, established at the NETME Centre (Faculty of Mechanical Engineering at the Brno University of Technology), is guided by an international research team, supervised by Professor Jiri Klemes. The SPIL project has been drafted and developed at the NETME Centre and subsidized from the Operational Program Research, Development and Education. The project commenced on 1 February 2017, and will last five years. The project objective is to establish an international, competitive research facility, and to simultaneously provide both unique and practical knowledge which will promote an increase in efficiency of processes and power industries, in other words knowledge that will help minimize the so-called greenhouse, nitrogen, ecological and water footprints.

The SPIL Scientific Conference have been held every year since 2017.

Institute for Engineering Materials and Design, FS UM, represented by the Laboratory for Characterization and Processing of Polymers. FS UM will manage WP2 on the modelling of plastic materials and their fragmentation, within the team of the University of Maribor.

Over the last decade the company Melamin d.d. Kočevje has succeeded in making an impact in the field of melamine chemistry. Among our custom- ers we are known as a supplier of excellent quality goods at competitive prices. We supply resins for paper, construction, wood, rubber, and the lacquer industry; impregnated decorative paper for the furniture industry, and impregnated materials for footwear manufacturing. We have lately achieved major progress and global visibility, especially with products based on hexamethylol-melamine (HMM) for the lacquer and rubber industry, as we introduced the latest state-of-the-art continuous technology in the world.
