Bespoke Pilot Vessels

Fabdec pilot tanks are designed around the process that the customer needs to test. This allows the equipment to replicate relevant production conditions without committing to a full-scale vessel.

Interchangeable components can be incorporated where different vessel geometries, fittings or process arrangements need to be compared. Instrumentation can also be added to capture performance data during each trial.

Once the preferred process has been established, the results can support the development of larger production vessels. This creates a clearer route from initial trials to commercial manufacturing.
