Contract Research Services
Affordable scCO2 Exposure Testing for Risk Assessment
Feasibility : Our contract research services begin with cost-effective feasibility studies and small-scale material exposure testing. This testing serves as a crucial step in determining the risk and associated costs of larger projects. By conducting comprehensive exposure testing, we enable our clients to make informed decisions and accurately assess the feasibility of their ventures.
Optimization: Identifying Crucial scCO2 Operating Parameters for Scale-up
Scale-up
Our R&D team can :
- Perform studies at different scales
- Identify the main scale-up issues for a given process Use chemical engineering tools for mitigating these latter
- Benchmarking on successful industrial processes
Our processes are developed so as to optimize resources, to tend to zero-waste, to limit or even avoid the use of organic-solvent, in compliance with current standards, adopting an industrial ecological approach.
STEPWISE SCALING
Lab-scale, Bench scale and pilot scale studies are essential for implementing and optimizing new technologies at industrial scale.
Vessel volumes for Bench and Lab-scale studies are typically less than 1 liter.
Pilot scale vessel volumes are understood between 1 and 100 liters depending on the targeted application.
A frequent challenge for projects at the bench or lab scale is the reliable feeding at high pressure. The solution involves prototype testing using a representative sample.
