Services
Nitration Technology
Our patented adiabatic nitration process revolutionized mononitrobenzene production, now used in over half the world's MNB plants. We provide complete solutions from bench-scale development to full commercial implementation. Our systems optimize energy efficiency while minimizing effluent treatment costs through integrated purification technologies.
Sulfuric Acid Production
SARC technology delivers sulfuric acid re-concentration solutions for metallurgical and hydrocarbon processing industries. Our systems reduce chemical consumption by 50% through NOx recovery and advanced heat integration. With over 500 tonnes/hour global evaporative capacity, we specialize in high-efficiency acid plants using corrosion-resistant materials.
Electrochemical Systems
NORSCAND electrochemical platform enables scale-up of redox flow batteries and industrial electrolysis processes. Our proprietary cell designs handle applications from organic synthesis to energy storage. We've engineered systems for bromine removal and chlorine dioxide generation that set industry benchmarks for purity and efficiency.
Wastewater Treatment
VERTREAT technology provides compact aerobic treatment systems with 50% lower energy consumption than conventional methods. Our solutions handle municipal to industrial wastewater streams up to 50,000 m3/day capacity. The ECOfluid subsidiary offers modular USBF and MBR systems for remote and off-grid applications.
Lignin Recovery
LignoForce process recovers high-purity lignin from kraft black liquor using patented oxidation technology. This creates new revenue streams while improving pulp production efficiency. The system integrates with existing mill infrastructure to minimize implementation costs and environmental impact.
