The faster a new process system can come to market, the faster it can start providing a return on your investment. Normally, modular process systems see a significant time savings over traditional build due to parallel construction. However, in a situation where multiple systems will be built, modular really shines. On top of the parallel […]

Pilot Plant for C02 Capture To Be Built in Denmark
Akermin Inc., has announced they will be providing a carbon capture pilot plant to a waste-water treatment facility in Copenhagen, Denmark. This project will be the largest demonstration in the world of a biocatalyst removing CO2 from an industrial gas stream. Akermin will use the project to prove the commercial viability of their flue gas treatment technology. With commercial viability […]
Pilot Plants: Prove Your Technology Fast
The most common type of pilot plant a customer is looking for is a way to prove or upgrade process technology quickly and discretely. They need a solution that doesn’t interrupt current operations, scales-up a new process to a level that has significant outputs, and does it all in the next couple of months. Pilot […]
The Effects an Experienced Designer Can Have on Process Skid Design
Starting with the initial meeting with the client, through fabrication and installation, all steps of the project are intertwined. The success of each stage hinges upon its predecessor. The process skid design phase of the project is one of those critical stages that has a trickle-down effect on the remainder o the project. Designers play […]
U.S. Manufacturing Exceeds Forecast and Leads to Increased Pilot Plant Production
EPIC Systems had seen an increase in inquires about pilot plant design and manufacturing. Not only has EPIC seen growth in 2013, but the month of August has shown the highest domestic manufacturing levels in over two years. The Institute for Supply Management’s index rose to 55.7, which is the strongest level since June 2011. […]
Industrial CO2 Distillation Pilot Plant Proving Long Term Viability
EPIC Systems, Inc. designed and engineered a distillation pilot plant that successfully removes over 80% CO2 from exhaust generated by a coal-fired power plant. The pilot plant, which utilizes Akermin Inc.’s process technology, has recently passed a significant milestone. It completed over 1,600 hours of operation without any reduction in efficacy. Samples of the flue […]
