Particulate Fluids Processing Centre (PFPC)

The Particulate Fluids Processing Centre (PFPC) is a Special Research Centre of the Australian Research Council, based at the University of Melbourne.

The PFPC brings together staff and students from across the Departments of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering and Mathematics and Statistics along with the School of Chemistry to form one of the world’s leading multi-disciplinary research centres in interfacial science and engineering.

Our research programs are focussed on gaining new insights into the interfacial behaviour of particulate fluids and advanced materials. The Centre has key research programs in separation science, emulsion technology, minerals processing, ultrasonics, environmental waste management, water treatment, nanomaterials, geopolymers and tissue engineering.

The PFPC can provide a wide range of services to industry from short term contracts through to longer term collaborative research programs. We have highly skilled scientists and engineers with extensive expertise in providing innovative solutions to interfacial science and engineering problems experienced by a range of industries.

Our researchers and students have the opportunity to work on a broad range of projects across interfacial science and engineering. Students are able to carry out graduate research degrees and undergraduate research programs within the PFPC at the University of Melbourne.
