Scaling up to pilot plant scale or larger | scale-up
Radically improving existing processes in the process industry by applying process intensification is one thing, but implementing this new technology in scaling up your process from lab scale to a pilot plant, is another. If your new process has yet to be scaled up, this is the perfect time to choose that breakthrough technology. You are about to decide what equipment you need to scale up production. Maybe you don’t want to take this step yet and have more confidence in proven, more mature technology? Or have you bought technology in a non-European country and want to build a production plant with it in the Netherlands or elsewhere in Europe, but do not know whether this is allowed or not? We are happy to help.
Why would you choose us and not a traditional engineering firm for your plant upscaling?
Engineering firms do what you ask. But are you asking the right question? You usually only find out once it has been worked out. And then changes have to be made. We think along with you in advance and challenge you to ask the right questions in advance, so that much less re-work is necessary (even if you decide to entrust the detailing to a traditional engineering firm). We have experience in research and development (RD) on the one hand and on the long-standing process engineering and production side on the other. And that is why we can help you a lot with the drawing up of, for example, heat mass balances, Process Flow Diagrams (PFDs), Piping Instrumentation Diagrams (PIDs), control narratives and safeguarding narratives and process safety.
