A pilot scale facility is designed to verify scientific or technical assumptions, evaluate new processes and products or integrate specific equipment into a global process. Our pilot plants will allow you to test your new ingredient or process on a scale or in an environment close to industrial reality. Improve has a recognized expertise in the implementation of innovative processes from lab scale to pilot scale (Gr to T).
