Research Capabilities
Process Engineering and Development
Process engineering and development is taking science to application. Promising scientific discoveries are evaluated on the bench and pilot scales, with a focus on developing energy and material balances and process flowsheets; preliminary process economics; and equipment and systems demonstration. The team comprises a variety of technical disciplines, including process chemistry, process engineering, mechanical engineering, and design/drafting (in such areas as chemical, metallurgical, environmental and agricultural).
Research Scale Melter developed for continuous feed from glass batch
Large scale, container-sized, amounts of bulk vitrified glass from the In-Container Vitrification™ system at the AMEC facility
The Process Engineering and Development Team worked intensely on design and operation of Pretreatment Engineering Platform in support of the Waste Treatment Plant.
