Solid-liquid Separation
Andrew Hoadley graduated from the University of Melbourne Chemical
Engineering Department in 1981. He worked as a Process Engineer for four years
with Davy McKee (now Kvaerner), where he obtained design and plant
experience in the petrochemical industry. He completed his PhD at the
Department of Chemical Engineering, University of Cambridge in 1988 and then
took up a post-doctoral position in the Materials Department at the EPFL. On
returning to Australia in 1991, he joined the casting group at the Comalco
Research Centre and later transferred to the aluminium reduction group,
where he led several industrial projects. In February 1999, he joined the
Monash University Chemical Engineering Department. He is the Director of the
post-graduate course, Master of Engineering Science in Advanced Process
Design
Current Research Interests
Andrew Hoadley has an active research group investigating novel
solid-liquid separation processes and drying processes, the influence of the
solid microstructure on these processes and the effect of the processing
condition on the product properties. He is particularly interested in
compression dewatering, filtration and super-heated steam drying. He also
has active research into various aspects of process design and integration,
particularly in the areas of energy and water-use efficiency.
