Scott ELGERSMA

PhD candidate, University of Cambridge

Scott Elgersma is a final-year PhD student in chemical engineering working under the supervision of Prof Dame Lynn Gladden at the University of Cambridge. His research involves the development and application of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) methods for operando measurements of mass transport and reaction within chemical reactors. The unique measurement capabilities of MRI enable the study of catalyst pellets at commercially relevant operating conditions. Such measurements provide fundamental reactor engineering insight, and ultimately promise to advance the reactor and catalyst technology used in heterogeneously catalysed processes. Originally from Alberta, Canada, Scott received his BSc. in chemical engineering from the University of Alberta, during which time he completed multiple internships in the chemical and energy industry. Outside of work, Scott enjoys cycling, sailing, and cross country skiing.

Scott visited CARES for knowledge exchange and attended the Global Young Scientist Summit (GYSS) event.

Presentation title: Magnetic Resonance Imaging as a tool for probing flow, chemistry, and molecular transport within chemical reactors

Abstract: Despite the widespread use of multiphase catalytic reactors in numerous process industries, few experimental methods are available for making non-invasive measurements within them. Recent developments in Magnetic Resonance (MR) methodologies have transformed the ability to make operando measurements of flow, molecular diffusion, adsorption, and chemical conversion in multi-phase catalytic reactors. Using Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), measurements can be spatially resolved, allowing flow, transport, and reaction to be mapped within an operating reactor. These measurements give an unprecedented insight into the processes occurring within these complex systems. Ongoing work at the Magnetic Resonance Research Centre (University of Cambridge) seeks to develop state-of-theart MRI techniques to advance the rational design of both catalyst and reactor technologies. This talk will outline the development and application of MR techniques for quantitatively probing flow and transport within packed bed reactors at industrially relevant conditions. Further, the insights these measurements give for the design of catalyst and reactor technology will be discussed.

Presentation title: Magnetic Resonance Imaging as a tool for probing flow, chemistry, and molecular transport within chemical reactors

Abstract: Despite the widespread use of multiphase catalytic reactors in numerous process industries, few experimental methods are available for making non-invasive measurements within them. Recent developments in Magnetic Resonance (MR) methodologies have transformed the ability to make operando measurements of flow, molecular diffusion, adsorption, and chemical conversion in multi-phase catalytic reactors. Using Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), measurements can be spatially resolved, allowing flow, transport, and reaction to be mapped within an operating reactor. These measurements give an unprecedented insight into the processes occurring within these complex systems. Ongoing work at the Magnetic Resonance Research Centre (University of Cambridge) seeks to develop state-of-theart MRI techniques to advance the rational design of both catalyst and reactor technologies. This talk will outline the development and application of MR techniques for quantitatively probing flow and transport within packed bed reactors at industrially relevant conditions. Further, the insights these measurements give for the design of catalyst and reactor technology will be discussed.

Using Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), measurements can be spatially resolved, allowing flow, transport, and reaction to be mapped within an operating reactor. These measurements give an unprecedented insight into the processes occurring within these complex systems. Ongoing work at the Magnetic Resonance Research Centre (University of Cambridge) seeks to develop state-of-theart MRI techniques to advance the rational design of both catalyst and reactor technologies. This talk will outline the development and application of MR techniques for quantitatively probing flow and transport within packed bed reactors at industrially relevant conditions. Further, the insights these measurements give for the design of catalyst and reactor technology will be discussed.

Past Visiting Scientists

Scott ELGERSMA

PhD candidate, University of Cambridge

Scott Elgersma is a final-year PhD student in chemical engineering working under the supervision of Prof Dame Lynn Gladden at the University of Cambridge. His research involves the development and application of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) methods for operando measurements of mass transport and reaction within chemical reactors. The unique measurement capabilities of MRI enable the study of catalyst pellets at commercially relevant operating conditions. Such measurements provide fundamental reactor engineering insight, and ultimately promise to advance the reactor and catalyst technology used in heterogeneously catalysed processes. Originally from Alberta, Canada, Scott received his BSc. in chemical engineering from the University of Alberta, during which time he completed multiple internships in the chemical and energy industry. Outside of work, Scott enjoys cycling, sailing, and cross country skiing.

Scott visited CARES for knowledge exchange and attended the Global Young Scientist Summit (GYSS) event.

Presentation title: Magnetic Resonance Imaging as a tool for probing flow, chemistry, and molecular transport within chemical reactors

Abstract: Despite the widespread use of multiphase catalytic reactors in numerous process industries, few experimental methods are available for making non-invasive measurements within them. Recent developments in Magnetic Resonance (MR) methodologies have transformed the ability to make operando measurements of flow, molecular diffusion, adsorption, and chemical conversion in multi-phase catalytic reactors. Using Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), measurements can be spatially resolved, allowing flow, transport, and reaction to be mapped within an operating reactor. These measurements give an unprecedented insight into the processes occurring within these complex systems. Ongoing work at the Magnetic Resonance Research Centre (University of Cambridge) seeks to develop state-of-theart MRI techniques to advance the rational design of both catalyst and reactor technologies. This talk will outline the development and application of MR techniques for quantitatively probing flow and transport within packed bed reactors at industrially relevant conditions.

His research involves the development and application of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) methods for operando measurements of mass transport and reaction within chemical reactors. The unique measurement capabilities of MRI enable the study of catalyst pellets at commercially relevant operating conditions. Such measurements provide fundamental reactor engineering insight, and ultimately promise to advance the reactor and catalyst technology used in heterogeneously catalysed processes. Originally from Alberta, Canada, Scott received his BSc. in chemical engineering from the University of Alberta, during which time he completed multiple internships in the chemical and energy industry. Outside of work, Scott enjoys cycling, sailing, and cross country skiing.

Scott visited CARES for knowledge exchange and attended the Global Young Scientist Summit (GYSS) event.

Presentation title: Magnetic Resonance Imaging as a tool for probing flow, chemistry, and molecular transport within chemical reactors

Abstract: Despite the widespread use of multiphase catalytic reactors in numerous process industries, few experimental methods are available for making non-invasive measurements within them. Recent developments in Magnetic Resonance (MR) methodologies have transformed the ability to make operando measurements of flow, molecular diffusion, adsorption, and chemical conversion in multi-phase catalytic reactors. Using Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), measurements can be spatially resolved, allowing flow, transport, and reaction to be mapped within an operating reactor. These measurements give an unprecedented insight into the processes occurring within these complex systems. Ongoing work at the Magnetic Resonance Research Centre (University of Cambridge) seeks to develop state-of-theart MRI techniques to advance the rational design of both catalyst and reactor technologies. This talk will outline the development and application of MR techniques for quantitatively probing flow and transport within packed bed reactors at industrially relevant conditions. Further, the insights these measurements give for the design of catalyst and reactor technology will be discussed.

Presentation title: Magnetic Resonance Imaging as a tool for probing flow, chemistry, and molecular transport within chemical reactors

Abstract: Despite the widespread use of multiphase catalytic reactors in numerous process industries, few experimental methods are available for making non-invasive measurements within them. Recent developments in Magnetic Resonance (MR) methodologies have transformed the ability to make operando measurements of flow, molecular diffusion, adsorption, and chemical conversion in multi-phase catalytic reactors. Using Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), measurements can be spatially resolved, allowing flow, transport, and reaction to be mapped within an operating reactor. These measurements give an unprecedented insight into the processes occurring within these complex systems. Ongoing work at the Magnetic Resonance Research Centre (University of Cambridge) seeks to develop state-of-theart MRI techniques to advance the rational design of both catalyst and reactor technologies. This talk will outline the development and application of MR techniques for quantitatively probing flow and transport within packed bed reactors at industrially relevant conditions. Further, the insights these measurements give for the design of catalyst and reactor technology will be discussed.

Using Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), measurements can be spatially resolved, allowing flow, transport, and reaction to be mapped within an operating reactor. These measurements give an unprecedented insight into the processes occurring within these complex systems. Ongoing work at the Magnetic Resonance Research Centre (University of Cambridge) seeks to develop state-of-theart MRI techniques to advance the rational design of both catalyst and reactor technologies. This talk will outline the development and application of MR techniques for quantitatively probing flow and transport within packed bed reactors at industrially relevant conditions. Further, the insights these measurements give for the design of catalyst and reactor technology will be discussed.

Past Visiting Scientists

Scott ELGERSMA

PhD candidate, University of Cambridge

Scott Elgersma is a final-year PhD student in chemical engineering working under the supervision of Prof Dame Lynn Gladden at the University of Cambridge. His research involves the development and application of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) methods for operando measurements of mass transport and reaction within chemical reactors. The unique measurement capabilities of MRI enable the study of catalyst pellets at commercially relevant operating conditions. Such measurements provide fundamental reactor engineering insight, and ultimately promise to advance the reactor and catalyst technology used in heterogeneously catalysed processes. Originally from Alberta, Canada, Scott received his BSc. in chemical engineering from the University of Alberta, during which time he completed multiple internships in the chemical and energy industry. Outside of work, Scott enjoys cycling, sailing, and cross country skiing.

Scott visited CARES for knowledge exchange and attended the Global Young Scientist Summit (GYSS) event.

Presentation title: Magnetic Resonance Imaging as a tool for probing flow, chemistry, and molecular transport within chemical reactors

Abstract: Despite the widespread use of multiphase catalytic reactors in numerous process industries, few experimental methods are available for making non-invasive measurements within them. Recent developments in Magnetic Resonance (MR) methodologies have transformed the ability to make operando measurements of flow, molecular diffusion, adsorption, and chemical conversion in multi-phase catalytic reactors. Using Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), measurements can be spatially resolved, allowing flow, transport, and reaction to be mapped within an operating reactor. These measurements give an unprecedented insight into the processes occurring within these complex systems. Ongoing work at the Magnetic Resonance Research Centre (University of Cambridge) seeks to develop state-of-theart MRI techniques to advance the rational design of both catalyst and reactor technologies. This talk will outline the development and application of MR techniques for quantitatively probing flow and transport within packed bed reactors at industrially relevant conditions.

His research involves the development and application of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) methods for operando measurements of mass transport and reaction within chemical reactors. The unique measurement capabilities of MRI enable the study of catalyst pellets at commercially relevant operating conditions. Such measurements provide fundamental reactor engineering insight, and ultimately promise to advance the reactor and catalyst technology used in heterogeneously catalysed processes. Originally from Alberta, Canada, Scott received his BSc. in chemical engineering from the University of Alberta, during which time he completed multiple internships in the chemical and energy industry. Outside of work, Scott enjoys cycling, sailing, and cross country skiing.

Scott visited CARES for knowledge exchange and attended the Global Young Scientist Summit (GYSS) event.

Presentation title: Magnetic Resonance Imaging as a tool for probing flow, chemistry, and molecular transport within chemical reactors

Abstract: Despite the widespread use of multiphase catalytic reactors in numerous process industries, few experimental methods are available for making non-invasive measurements within them. Recent developments in Magnetic Resonance (MR) methodologies have transformed the ability to make operando measurements of flow, molecular diffusion, adsorption, and chemical conversion in multi-phase catalytic reactors. Using Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), measurements can be spatially resolved, allowing flow, transport, and reaction to be mapped within an operating reactor. These measurements give an unprecedented insight into the processes occurring within these complex systems. Ongoing work at the Magnetic Resonance Research Centre (University of Cambridge) seeks to develop state-of-theart MRI techniques to advance the rational design of both catalyst and reactor technologies. This talk will outline the development and application of MR techniques for quantitatively probing flow and transport within packed bed reactors at industrially relevant conditions. Further, the insights these measurements give for the design of catalyst and reactor technology will be discussed.

Presentation title: Magnetic Resonance Imaging as a tool for probing flow, chemistry, and molecular transport within chemical reactors

Abstract: Despite the widespread use of multiphase catalytic reactors in numerous process industries, few experimental methods are available for making non-invasive measurements within them. Recent developments in Magnetic Resonance (MR) methodologies have transformed the ability to make operando measurements of flow, molecular diffusion, adsorption, and chemical conversion in multi-phase catalytic reactors. Using Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), measurements can be spatially resolved, allowing flow, transport, and reaction to be mapped within an operating reactor. These measurements give an unprecedented insight into the processes occurring within these complex systems. Ongoing work at the Magnetic Resonance Research Centre (University of Cambridge) seeks to develop state-of-theart MRI techniques to advance the rational design of both catalyst and reactor technologies. This talk will outline the development and application of MR techniques for quantitatively probing flow and transport within packed bed reactors at industrially relevant conditions. Further, the insights these measurements give for the design of catalyst and reactor technology will be discussed.

Using Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), measurements can be spatially resolved, allowing flow, transport, and reaction to be mapped within an operating reactor. These measurements give an unprecedented insight into the processes occurring within these complex systems. Ongoing work at the Magnetic Resonance Research Centre (University of Cambridge) seeks to develop state-of-theart MRI techniques to advance the rational design of both catalyst and reactor technologies. This talk will outline the development and application of MR techniques for quantitatively probing flow and transport within packed bed reactors at industrially relevant conditions. Further, the insights these measurements give for the design of catalyst and reactor technology will be discussed.

Past Visiting Scientists

Scott ELGERSMA

PhD candidate, University of Cambridge

Scott Elgersma is a final-year PhD student in chemical engineering working under the supervision of Prof Dame Lynn Gladden at the University of Cambridge. His research involves the development and application of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) methods for operando measurements of mass transport and reaction within chemical reactors. The unique measurement capabilities of MRI enable the study of catalyst pellets at commercially relevant operating conditions. Such measurements provide fundamental reactor engineering insight, and ultimately promise to advance the reactor and catalyst technology used in heterogeneously catalysed processes. Originally from Alberta, Canada, Scott received his BSc. in chemical engineering from the University of Alberta, during which time he completed multiple internships in the chemical and energy industry. Outside of work, Scott enjoys cycling, sailing, and cross country skiing.

Scott visited CARES for knowledge exchange and attended the Global Young Scientist Summit (GYSS) event.

Presentation title: Magnetic Resonance Imaging as a tool for probing flow, chemistry, and molecular transport within chemical reactors

Abstract: Despite the widespread use of multiphase catalytic reactors in numerous process industries, few experimental methods are available for making non-invasive measurements within them. Recent developments in Magnetic Resonance (MR) methodologies have transformed the ability to make operando measurements of flow, molecular diffusion, adsorption, and chemical conversion in multi-phase catalytic reactors. Using Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), measurements can be spatially resolved, allowing flow, transport, and reaction to be mapped within an operating reactor. These measurements give an unprecedented insight into the processes occurring within these complex systems. Ongoing work at the Magnetic Resonance Research Centre (University of Cambridge) seeks to develop state-of-theart MRI techniques to advance the rational design of both catalyst and reactor technologies. This talk will outline the development and application of MR techniques for quantitatively probing flow and transport within packed bed reactors at industrially relevant conditions.

His research involves the development and application of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) methods for operando measurements of mass transport and reaction within chemical reactors. The unique measurement capabilities of MRI enable the study of catalyst pellets at commercially relevant operating conditions. Such measurements provide fundamental reactor engineering insight, and ultimately promise to advance the reactor and catalyst technology used in heterogeneously catalysed processes. Originally from Alberta, Canada, Scott received his BSc. in chemical engineering from the University of Alberta, during which time he completed multiple internships in the chemical and energy industry. Outside of work, Scott enjoys cycling, sailing, and cross country skiing.

Scott visited CARES for knowledge exchange and attended the Global Young Scientist Summit (GYSS) event.

Presentation title: Magnetic Resonance Imaging as a tool for probing flow, chemistry, and molecular transport within chemical reactors

Abstract: Despite the widespread use of multiphase catalytic reactors in numerous process industries, few experimental methods are available for making non-invasive measurements within them. Recent developments in Magnetic Resonance (MR) methodologies have transformed the ability to make operando measurements of flow, molecular diffusion, adsorption, and chemical conversion in multi-phase catalytic reactors. Using Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), measurements can be spatially resolved, allowing flow, transport, and reaction to be mapped within an operating reactor. These measurements give an unprecedented insight into the processes occurring within these complex systems. Ongoing work at the Magnetic Resonance Research Centre (University of Cambridge) seeks to develop state-of-theart MRI techniques to advance the rational design of both catalyst and reactor technologies. This talk will outline the development and application of MR techniques for quantitatively probing flow and transport within packed bed reactors at industrially relevant conditions. Further, the insights these measurements give for the design of catalyst and reactor technology will be discussed.

Presentation title: Magnetic Resonance Imaging as a tool for probing flow, chemistry, and molecular transport within chemical reactors

Abstract: Despite the widespread use of multiphase catalytic reactors in numerous process industries, few experimental methods are available for making non-invasive measurements within them. Recent developments in Magnetic Resonance (MR) methodologies have transformed the ability to make operando measurements of flow, molecular diffusion, adsorption, and chemical conversion in multi-phase catalytic reactors. Using Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), measurements can be spatially resolved, allowing flow, transport, and reaction to be mapped within an operating reactor. These measurements give an unprecedented insight into the processes occurring within these complex systems. Ongoing work at the Magnetic Resonance Research Centre (University of Cambridge) seeks to develop state-of-theart MRI techniques to advance the rational design of both catalyst and reactor technologies. This talk will outline the development and application of MR techniques for quantitatively probing flow and transport within packed bed reactors at industrially relevant conditions. Further, the insights these measurements give for the design of catalyst and reactor technology will be discussed.

Using Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), measurements can be spatially resolved, allowing flow, transport, and reaction to be mapped within an operating reactor. These measurements give an unprecedented insight into the processes occurring within these complex systems. Ongoing work at the Magnetic Resonance Research Centre (University of Cambridge) seeks to develop state-of-theart MRI techniques to advance the rational design of both catalyst and reactor technologies. This talk will outline the development and application of MR techniques for quantitatively probing flow and transport within packed bed reactors at industrially relevant conditions. Further, the insights these measurements give for the design of catalyst and reactor technology will be discussed.

Past Visiting Scientists

Scott ELGERSMA

PhD candidate, University of Cambridge

Scott Elgersma is a final-year PhD student in chemical engineering working under the supervision of Prof Dame Lynn Gladden at the University of Cambridge. His research involves the development and application of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) methods for operando measurements of mass transport and reaction within chemical reactors. The unique measurement capabilities of MRI enable the study of catalyst pellets at commercially relevant operating conditions. Such measurements provide fundamental reactor engineering insight, and ultimately promise to advance the reactor and catalyst technology used in heterogeneously catalysed processes. Originally from Alberta, Canada, Scott received his BSc. in chemical engineering from the University of Alberta, during which time he completed multiple internships in the chemical and energy industry. Outside of work, Scott enjoys cycling, sailing, and cross country skiing.

Scott visited CARES for knowledge exchange and attended the Global Young Scientist Summit (GYSS) event.

Presentation title: Magnetic Resonance Imaging as a tool for probing flow, chemistry, and molecular transport within chemical reactors

Abstract: Despite the widespread use of multiphase catalytic reactors in numerous process industries, few experimental methods are available for making non-invasive measurements within them. Recent developments in Magnetic Resonance (MR) methodologies have transformed the ability to make operando measurements of flow, molecular diffusion, adsorption, and chemical conversion in multi-phase catalytic reactors. Using Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), measurements can be spatially resolved, allowing flow, transport, and reaction to be mapped within an operating reactor. These measurements give an unprecedented insight into the processes occurring within these complex systems. Ongoing work at the Magnetic Resonance Research Centre (University of Cambridge) seeks to develop state-of-theart MRI techniques to advance the rational design of both catalyst and reactor technologies. This talk will outline the development and application of MR techniques for quantitatively probing flow and transport within packed bed reactors at industrially relevant conditions.

His research involves the development and application of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) methods for operando measurements of mass transport and reaction within chemical reactors. The unique measurement capabilities of MRI enable the study of catalyst pellets at commercially relevant operating conditions. Such measurements provide fundamental reactor engineering insight, and ultimately promise to advance the reactor and catalyst technology used in heterogeneously catalysed processes. Originally from Alberta, Canada, Scott received his BSc. in chemical engineering from the University of Alberta, during which time he completed multiple internships in the chemical and energy industry. Outside of work, Scott enjoys cycling, sailing, and cross country skiing.

Scott visited CARES for knowledge exchange and attended the Global Young Scientist Summit (GYSS) event.

Presentation title: Magnetic Resonance Imaging as a tool for probing flow, chemistry, and molecular transport within chemical reactors

Abstract: Despite the widespread use of multiphase catalytic reactors in numerous process industries, few experimental methods are available for making non-invasive measurements within them. Recent developments in Magnetic Resonance (MR) methodologies have transformed the ability to make operando measurements of flow, molecular diffusion, adsorption, and chemical conversion in multi-phase catalytic reactors. Using Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), measurements can be spatially resolved, allowing flow, transport, and reaction to be mapped within an operating reactor. These measurements give an unprecedented insight into the processes occurring within these complex systems. Ongoing work at the Magnetic Resonance Research Centre (University of Cambridge) seeks to develop state-of-theart MRI techniques to advance the rational design of both catalyst and reactor technologies. This talk will outline the development and application of MR techniques for quantitatively probing flow and transport within packed bed reactors at industrially relevant conditions. Further, the insights these measurements give for the design of catalyst and reactor technology will be discussed.

Presentation title: Magnetic Resonance Imaging as a tool for probing flow, chemistry, and molecular transport within chemical reactors

Abstract: Despite the widespread use of multiphase catalytic reactors in numerous process industries, few experimental methods are available for making non-invasive measurements within them. Recent developments in Magnetic Resonance (MR) methodologies have transformed the ability to make operando measurements of flow, molecular diffusion, adsorption, and chemical conversion in multi-phase catalytic reactors. Using Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), measurements can be spatially resolved, allowing flow, transport, and reaction to be mapped within an operating reactor. These measurements give an unprecedented insight into the processes occurring within these complex systems. Ongoing work at the Magnetic Resonance Research Centre (University of Cambridge) seeks to develop state-of-theart MRI techniques to advance the rational design of both catalyst and reactor technologies. This talk will outline the development and application of MR techniques for quantitatively probing flow and transport within packed bed reactors at industrially relevant conditions. Further, the insights these measurements give for the design of catalyst and reactor technology will be discussed.

Scott ELGERSMA

PhD candidate, University of Cambridge

Scott Elgersma is a final-year PhD student in chemical engineering working under the supervision of Prof Dame Lynn Gladden at the University of Cambridge. His research involves the development and application of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) methods for operando measurements of mass transport and reaction within chemical reactors. The unique measurement capabilities of MRI enable the study of catalyst pellets at commercially relevant operating conditions. Such measurements provide fundamental reactor engineering insight, and ultimately promise to advance the reactor and catalyst technology used in heterogeneously catalysed processes.
