Pilot plant

A pilot plant is in the chemical industry, the link between laboratory and large-scale production.

Description

As a pilot is called a test stand, be tested in the individual apparatus, machines or systems of equipment, machinery and auxiliary equipment under operating conditions. Technika be used by the method parameters found in the laboratory in scaled-down equipment for the later production in large-scale systems to optimize. In addition, first quantities can be produced as patterns for customers there. The process parameters determined during operation of the pilot plant will be used for the planning and design of large-scale plant ( " scale-up ").
