How the process works
A pilot plant is a small-scale process plant, which aims to obtain information about the physical and chemical process. It establishes the optimal operating parameters of this process for a subsequent design and construction of the plant on an industrial scale.
Gain experience and obtain technical data that can be used in:
- The design of special equipment and structures needed for the new processes
- Standardisation of tests and fine-tuning of production processes
- Design rules and safety standards
- Adoption of organisational measures specific to work in the pilot plant
- Installation costs

Partner Testimonial / Why is this important
Transform basic laboratory data into operating parameters in a plant that develops processes on a reduced scale to obtain information that will be used on an industrial scale. The results obtained in the laboratory cannot be extrapolated directly to the industrial scale. Experimentation is needed on an intermediate scale.
