CanmetENERGY Devon houses a range of pilot plants to test various processes and conditions for both batch and continuous operation.
Our areas of focus
Our pilot plants include batch reactors of various sizes, hydroprocessing units capable of high temperatures and pressure, batch and continuous distillation, and specific process operations such as solvent deasphalting. Many of our pilot plants are multi-purpose and can be configured into different process operations. Others can be modified to meet a client’s specific needs. Our staff are highly trained in the execution of pilot scale experiments. Please reach out for more details on our capacities and how we can work together on your project.
Below are examples of the equipment available in our pilot labs:
- batch processes: Our specialty equipment for batch processing includes reactors ranging in capacity from 250 mL to 4000 mL under conditions as high as 34Mpa and 500C
- hydroprocessing: Our hydroprocessing capabilities are supported by a variety of hydrotreaters/hydrocrackers with capacities ranging from 20-400 g/h to 400-2000 g/h
- distillation: We have two distillation units that can operate under atmospheric or vacuum confisions, a batch unit that can process up to 50L and a continuous unit that can process up to 5000 g/h
- equipment for visbreaking, solvent deasphalting, vacuum corrosion testing, and more
