Calcining
We can perform calcination at levels ranging from a few grams in a muffle furnace, to 10s of kg in a static kiln, up to pilot scale in an indirect heating rotary kiln.
Bleaching
Bleach tests can be performed at laboratory and small pilot scale in controlled batch process.
Product Specific Testing
We can produce a range of products depending upon the final product application and have these tested to prove acceptability and validity of the process route.
Attrition Scrubbing
Laboratory attrition scrubbing can be performed and energy requirements monitored at both laboratory and pilot scale.
Low Contamination Milling
Low contamination milling can be performed at laboratory scale in either batch or continuous mills with ceramic or polyurethane lined mills.
Brightness Testing
Brightness testing can be performed in-house for indicative purposes then verified by an accredited laboratory.
