At ACT, we have decades of experience testing and developing products and processes that are designed for scale-up. In addition, we provide testing at the pilot scale as well as work with you to commercialize your process. We develop products, co-products, and waste conversion products from chemical reactions for a wide variety of industries including fertilizer, chemicals, fine chemicals, catalysts, feed, food, pharmaceutical, and biomass, to name a few. We develop new products and processes as well as assist our clients in converting waste streams to marketable products thus providing additional revenue from their current processes. Our experience is unsurpassed in producing chemical products in rotary drums, fluid bed reactors, and mixed tank reactors using both batch and continuous processing. We have successfully converted chlorides to sulfates, chlorides to nitrates, sulfates to carbonates, and much more.
Our labs are equipped to handle a broad spectrum of bench scale development activities. Our development staff has the experience to plan and conduct bench scale tests to generate the data required to plan pilot tests.
