Research Equipment

Pilot rotary kiln with 10 kg/h capacity, heating up to 950°C for powder calcination.

a small-scale version of industrial dewatering equipment used for solid-liquid separation. It is specifically designed for R&D laboratories, feasibility studies, and process optimization before moving to full-scale production. The process involves pumping a slurry into a series of chambers lined with filter cloths. Under pressure, the liquid (filtrate) passes through the cloth and exits the press, while the solids are trapped inside, forming a semi-solid filter cake

Consisting of a 400 L mixed reactor and pilot industrial filter press for solid/liquid separation

Laboratory muffle with 60 L capacity for heat treatments

Fine grinding, mixing of powders, jars and spheres of different sizes are available

The water filtering system was designed to be able to treat wastewater from conventional purification plants, to adsorb, in a bio-char matrix, nitrogen and phosphorus and / or to adsorb pollutants that are not degraded in the normal purification cycle (drugs, and other emerging contaminants).
The main components of the system are installed on a skid with a footprint at the base of 1x1 m, a height of 1.7 m equipped with swivel wheels for handling, with two vessels in composite material, 40 liters / each. The vessels can contain biochar or activated carbon with a minimum particle size of 0.5 mm. A system of electronically controlled programmable pumps (PLC LOGO Siemens) allows flexible management of the filtration and backwash phases.

High speed rotor used for the rapid size reduction of soft to medium-hard and fibrous materials.
