Nestled in the foothills of the Flatirons, Team Weimer has over twenty-five years of experience doing research in the chemical engineering technologies. We are at the forefront of innovation in particle fluidization, atomic layer deposition, hydrogen production, solar reactor design, high-temperature thermal storage processing, and advanced metallic and ceramic materials. Our work spans computational theory, experimental work, techno-economic analysis and process design, and we have many collaborations with government, academia and private businesses. A major focus of our research is in renewable and sustainable energy.
