When people are buying a new car, one of their top deciding factors is whether or not the car is of high quality, and one of the others is making sure that it is safe. No one wants to buy a car that will break down ten times a year or is a death trap. The […]

Sustainable Process Technologies Emerging from Pilot Plants into Commercialized Systems
Through our work scaling technologies for pilot plants or commercial systems, we often get exposed to the up-and-coming processes on the verge of commercialization. In the last several years, we have seen an especially large surge in CO2, Gas-to-Liquids, and biomass process technologies seeking demonstration or pilot plants. While each technology is different, there are […]
What Can EPIC and Aspen Hysys do for you?
With the licensing of Aspen Technologies, EPIC has expanded process simulation capabilities available in-house for our clients. What can 3D models developed by our scale-up experts in Aspen Plus or Aspen HYSYS do for you? Improve accuracy of preliminary process design, reduce project scale-up timelines from design to installation, and lower overall job costs. While […]
Pilot Plant Design Steps
Want to build a pilot plant to test process technology, but not sure how to get started? What does a pilot plant cost? What steps are involved? The steps of pilot plant design are outlined in the slideshare below. The six basic steps are: Consultation with a professional process engineering company Design – creating process […]
Pilot Plant Design Proves Viability of Chemical Processes
Pilot plants are designed to prove production capabilities for new processes or test viability of an established process on a larger scale. A higher than average number of sampling points and instruments are typical in pilot plants, and are used to measure process parameters and results. Design of pilot skids is not straight forward. Scale-up […]
How it feels to Design & Build a Pilot Plant
We know you are dying to know what it feels like to build a pilot plant. We thought we would share that magical journey of emotions so you don’t have to angst any longer: The client calls to discuss the project idea with an EPIC engineer: The client isn’t sure they want to proceed with […]
