Pilot Scale Applications Development

Pennwalt Private Limited was incorporated in 1959 as Sharples  Process Engineers Pvt. Ltd. and established its marketing,  manufacturing and Research & Development Center in 1978 for  the production of its full range of separation equipment for  chemical processing applications, biotechnology applications,  municipal & industrial effluent treatment applications  encompassing the decanter centrifuge, the high-G tubular bowl  centrifuge, vibrating screen and turnkey process plants at its  manufacturing factory in Navi Mumbai. It also manufactures  water Chlorinators and peristaltic hose pumps to international  standards, It further carries out a full range of corrosion resistant  fluoropolymer lining and coatings on chemical process equipment.

Application specific trials are carried out by Pennwalt Private Limited in their pilot plant, on pilot scale geometrically similar  separations equipment such as Super-D-Canter centrifuges, high G tubular bowl super centrifuges, and Vibroscreens under process  conditions that replicate customer specific requirements. 

Trials are recommended to our potential customers and can be  carried out with representative samples of their process feed,  primarily on geometrically similar pilot scale test separations  equipment at Pennwalt Private Limited’s pilot plant all of which  are made to operate under customer’s process specific operating  conditions, comparable and scalable to the industrial models to be  operated under customer-specific site conditions.

On the basis of these pilot scale data, recommendations and detailed  specifications of scaled-up equipment are provided to the potential  customer. 

Subsequent to the pilot scale trials at the Pennwalt pilot  plant, further detailed assessment trials can also be carried out at  customer site by Pennwalt process engineers and technicians with  either the pilot scale and also if necessary on the industrial scale  models, to further confirm the extent to which the targeted  separational equipment performance can be achieved with  variations of process feed slurry characteristics that occur under  site operational conditions.

The pilot plant facility helps to carry out applications and process development on a pilot scale to adapt the full range of Pennwalt products to the needs and demands of the process industries in India.
