Pilot testing

Pilot scale testing may serve several objectives:

• Investigating whether a product can be produced according to the customer's requirements / specification
• Providing our sales division with basic data for scale-up to industrial size
• Production of samples for the further investigation by the customer
• Small scale production of material for market analysis, approval etc.
• Process or equipment development

Before the test work can begin, the customer will, in co-operation with the Niro sales engineer and test engineer, agree upon the pilot plant size and configuration to be used. Product requirements and safety aspects of product handling also need to be clarified. Finally a test date or period must be agreed upon.
