Arne Pietsch

Prof. Dr.-Ing. Arne Pietsch is a faculty member at the Technical University of Luebeck in the Department of Mechanical Engineering and Economics. His expertise centers on apparatus and plant engineering for the food industry, with a focus on hygienic apparatus engineering and high-pressure technology.

• Specializations: Food process engineering, supercritical fluid applications, and industrial plant design
• Current role: Founding Officer in the department

His research spans supercritical CO2 processes, including decaffeination, turbine cleaning, and polymer impregnation. He integrates high-pressure systems into engineering education and explores viscosity dynamics in food processing.

Key publication trends (2012–2019) highlight work in:

• Supercritical fluid extraction and impregnation
• High-pressure equipment safety and design
• Gas-assisted oilseed pressing
• Coffee processing quality control
