DSTI is a Technology Development and Implementation Platform for the Process Industry.
Industry and knowledge institutes work closely together under the motto: “Together we can take bigger steps, have more impact, and share the risks”.

Seventy percent energy savings, medicines with reduced side effects, compact and waste-free manufacturing processes, high value feed supplements from milk, process water of the required quality, a doubling of the amount of recoverable oil per field, and technologists with R&D and business skills. These are some of the objectives of the Roadmap Separation Technology, defined by more than 300 people of 120 organizations. This roadmap comprises the basis of the DSTI R&D&I program.

So far, 50 companies from the Food, Pharmaceutical, Oil and Gas, Chemical and Process Water Industries, and 10 knowledge institutes, have joined DSTI. The program covers all aspects from (fundamental) knowledge generation to technology implementation. It has a special focus on Separation Technology but is certainly not limited to it. The total size of the program is almost 100 million Euro and over 300 (ca. 100fte) people are involved in the project execution. Recently APPI (Action Plan Process Intensification) joined DSTI.
