The Pilot Plant
Safe environment for Upscaling and Process Optimization
Innovation is essential for growth. Often, it’s challenging to prepare a new concept for “real production” because the right infrastructure for small-scale testing and safe upscaling techniques is missing.
Our pilot plant offers a smart intermediate step that reduces risks and increases opportunities. We support your company in developing and testing new chemical processes on a larger scale—before you invest in a full-scale process line.
From Lab to Commercial Deployment
Many organizations lack flexibility in their existing installations. Our advanced infrastructure provides the solution. We conduct experimental comparisons and deliver clear proof of concept for:
- Optimization of existing techniques: Can we improve current separation processes?
- Alternative strategies: Should we rethink the entire process using a new technique?
Our pilot plant makes it possible to thoroughly investigate processes on a larger scale, including crucial process control. This enables you to make well-founded decisions for a commercial rollout.
“We’ve developed something new in the lab, and now it’s time to turn it into industrial reality.”
Achievements with Our Pilot-scale Infrastructure
Through our wide range of techniques, we support process optimization for diverse projects.
Some recent achievements that demonstrate the value of our pilot installation:
- Purification of lignin oil from biomass valorization.
- Proof-of-Concept for a continuous Thin-Film Evaporator (as a replacement for an outdated batch evaporator).
- Development of bio-based and non-toxic polyurethanes.
- Extraction of protein powders from edible insects and microalgae at pilot scale for feed trials.
