You are here Home School of Chemical, Materials and Biological Engineering School Learning and teaching facilities The Diamond Building You'll get to study in the Diamond building, our largest-ever investment in teaching and learning. The building has specific chemical engineering laboratories and also holds our Pilot Plant where you can test simulations and control systems in a safe product environment. Learn more about the Diamond The Diamond Pilot Plant (DiPP) DiPP is the cornerstone for educating the 91̽»¨ Chemical Engineer. The plant has three cutting edge integrated manufacturing processes at a pilot scale. DiPP has software and products sponsored by major industrial companies including, GEA, Solaris Biotech and NiTech and is also used to upskill employees of UK companies. Take a tour of the DiPP Analytics Laboratory The Analytics Laboratory has a wide range of equipment that allows the characterisation of gas and liquid mixtures. It also host the continuous crystallizer, a key competent in our undergraduate curriculum.
