Testimony
Scale-up of a zinc slag treatment
Thanks to Kemitek’s pilot plant rented by G.H. Chemicals during a dozen weeks, they could test and demonstrate the technical feasibility of a new zinc slag treatment. The on-site involvement of GH staff helped them determine how the process could be integrated in their operations. Sylvain Dubé, project manager at G.H. Chemicals, was greatly satisfied by the collaboration with Kemitek: “The welcoming, the availability of the staff and the quality of the equipment at OLEOTEK enabled us to realize the project in very good conditions”. M. Dubé has already recommended Kemitek’s services to another company looking for this type of installation unique in Canada.
Scale-up of a new renewable chemical from forest biomass
The Kemitek facility provided Fortress Advanced Bioproducts (FAB) with equipment and expertise to replicate mill processes enabling the company to develop additional value-add research that will aid in conversion of pulp mill infrastructure into a biorefinery. “Kemitek staff are very knowledgeable and eager to assist in any way they can. Their “can-do” attitude and close relationships with educational institutions and government bring tremendous support to assist with scaling of technology for real world application in industry.”
