Pilot Plant Capital Costs

摘要

SECURING FUNDING for your pilot plant can often be the most difficult obstacle to overcome when scaling up your process technology. While a pilot plant generally serves as a key stepping stone in taking a process from bench scale to full production, there usually still is strong pressure to minimize its cost. However, by skimping too much on the funding, you may build a pilot unit that does not give enough useful data for the construction of a production plant.
