Novel Process Technology
For a Cleaner World

We have a state-of-the-art research and development laboratory, staffed with industrially experienced, PhD qualified scientists based at Lincolnshire Science & Innovation Park. Our in-house expertise allows us to create customised technology for our clients including process optimisation and testing.
Our Facilities
Our facilities include bench-scale equipment, a pilot plant and in-house analytical capability. Collaboration with the university’s chemistry and engineering departments further enhances our offering. Our R&D capabilities, coupled with our experience in metals extraction, means we are well suited to development of technologies for metals extraction from numerous feedstocks including:

Case Study Heavy Crude Upgrading Middle East 3
The intention is to build a new extra heavy crude refinery in the Northern Gulf. The refinery will employ a novel slurry catalyst technology called Heavy Residue Hydroconversion unit (HRH) to upgrade the crude feed oil, thereby increasing yield. The technology is particularly efficient for processing crudes from marginal oil fields
