Pilot Plants

Make your CAPEX investments more reliable
  • Overview
  • Services
  • Available pilot plants

3V Group has always maintained a strong focus on R&D and in-house engineering development in the chemical, environmental and process equipment fields, allowing some of their technologies to gain international recognition.

3V Tech benefits from 3V Group's advanced R&D centers located in Italy & the USA.

Mozzo (BG), Italy

Complete Multi-purpose 4 floors test center, with the necessary utilities and suitable to handle hazardous products.

Grassobbio (BG), Italy

Mainly dedicated to environmental research and to lab scale testing.

Georgetown (S.C.), USA

Lab and pilot testing.

With state-of-the-art pilot plants our centers are optimally equipped for testing in the fields of:

  • Batch filtration & drying
  • Evaporation, crystallization, distillation, drying
  • Highly-viscosity products
  • Wet Oxidation

Services

We offer you the following services:

  • Lab scale testing for preliminary screening and equipment selection
  • Pilot plant trials for scale-up to industrial units, design of optimal operating conditions
  • Highly qualified testing personnel
  • In-house test facilities and mobile rental units
  • Physical-chemical analysis of product samples
  • Detailed testing reports
  • Large sample quantity for customer's further R&D activities
  • Development of particular equipment, plants and processes for your application
  • Multi-step test plants can be set-up

Pilot units

We have at least one pilot unit for each type of equipment we manufacture, which conceptually is manufactured identically to the industrial sized equipment. Most of our pilot units are manufactured in Alloy C 22 as material in contact with the product. This guarantees a compatibility with most products used in the chemical and pharmaceutical industries.

The following pilot units are available for testing:

  • Lab filters, filter-dryers and vacuum dryers
  • Lab glass evaporators
  • Lab thin film/short path evaporators
  • Filter-dryers and various other filtration equipment
  • Vacuum dryers of various kinds
  • Short path evaporators
  • Anaerobic digestion reactor
  • Wet Oxidation pilot plant and other basic instrumentation for on-site experimental activities

Mobile pilot units

If testing at customer site is preferable to our pilot plant, we have available mobile pilot units, designed for an easy transport and installation.

Furthermore our specialised personnel is available to validate the installation, provide training and assist during the initial test phases.installation.
