RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT / PROCESS DEVELOPMENT SERVICES

  • Feasibility / due diligence reviews
  • Literature studies (e.g., defining state of art techniques,
    evaluating existing options)
  • Research program planning: concept definition, industry input,
    program development
  • Planning, designing, building, & operating of complete process
    units at laboratory, bench- (including bench units for the field)
    and demonstration-scale process units
  • Scale-up of process units
  • Performance proof testing / 100 hr continuous runs
  • Design, implementation, and analysis of industry surveys on
    processing topics
  • Develop basis for process designs, perform process simulations
  • Prediction of phase equilibria for special or unusual components
    or systems
  • Process concept and project feasibility studies
  • Project economic analyses, cost estimating, rate of return
  • Process and instrumentation diagram (P&ID) development
  • Process design packages
  • Hazards and operability (HAZOP) studies, Process Hazards
    Analyses (PHAs)
  • Preparation of data to support patent applications

Examples of Services Experience Relevant to Contract R&D:

  • Developed processes from concept through pilot- and, in some
    cases, commercial-scale (e.g., R-BTEX, CrystaSulf, Double
    Loop, BSRP, etc.)
  • Planned, designed, built, and tested multiple large
    demonstration units (SulFerox, CrystaSulf, R-BTEX, Novel
    Contactor for H2S scavenging, GRI scavenging test loop, Glycol
    additives test system, Air-water mist eliminator test loop, etc.)
  • Used test results to create user-friendly computer applications (e.
    g., GTI Direct Injection Scavenger Model)
  • Performed technology transfer (e.g., Fundamentals of H2S
    Scavenging paper, Mist Eliminator Design and Specification
    Guide, Acid Gas Removal guide, etc.)
  • Evaluated feasibility (technical and economic) of several
    developmental processes (e.g., processes to produce clean
    diesel, to break emulsions, etc.)

Process Simulation Software:

Trimeric uses WinSim DESIGN II software for process simulation.  This
is a time-tested steady state simulator with state-of-the-art capabilities.  
Trimeric’s staff also has extensive experience with ASPEN PLUS and
other software for modeling aqueous chemical and physical solubility
equilibria.

Other: Trimeric Corporation meets government requirements for small
business classification.  Trimeric has access to the full range of
laboratory capabilities through industry partners.
