Pilot tests are an important step for development of any process. They help us verify the feasibility of a separation task. Finepac offers pilot testing facilities at our state of the art pilot and laboratory-testing centre for evaluation of a variety of separation tasks.
In the chemical and refining industry setting up of a pilot plant is an important step to ensure safe column sizing by measuring equilibrium data. Pilot testing ensures high separation efficiency at low-pressure drop and allows a safe scale-up into planning of an actual production plant.
We offer a broad range of services including
At our testing facilities, we offer a laboratory and a pilot column with the following features
Theoretical models correctly predict the performances of separation tasks. However, pilot tests are still required for a number tasks including
On the basis of the results from simulations or process data from clients, the column is configured according to process requirements and parameters are varied during the tests to simulate the conditions in the actual test including
Analysis of samples is essential for evaluating the tests results. We provide our
customers with the latest computer controlled testing equipment. In case of special
requirements we are associated with certified laboratories that provide us the
required test results.
We provide for the following testing facilities
