A FULL-SERVICE TECHNOLOGY PARTNER

Procedyne has an experienced technical staff and the supporting facilities to conduct testing and R&D programs for granular or fine powder products and fluid bed processes including drying; calcinations; activations; reductions, oxidations, and other gas-solids reactions; vapor depositions; heat-treatments; etc.

We have capabilities ranging from product or process conceptualization, all the way through to the design of a commercial-scale system, or the toll processing of demonstration lots for commercialization, or for the actual commercial production of the product.

Our process laboratory is equipped with bench- and pilot-scale fluid bed processors, and the necessary attendant and ancillary equipment and facilities to handle even the most difficult operating conditions, including:

• Operating temperatures up to 1200°C;
• Operating pressure up to 100 psig;
• Capability for handling hazardous solids, liquids and gases, including hydrogen, ammonia, silanes, chlorides, etc.
• Emissions control devices including filters, cyclones, scrubbers, thermal oxidizers, etc.

A typical development program at our facility will proceed in step-wise fashion, to maximize the chances of success.
