Commercial and academic applications
The following example case studies only show the tip of the iceberg of the breadth of projects we have delivered to our customers within recent years, as most of the projects we undertake are protected by non-disclosure agreements due to the highly sensitive work being undertaken, either in cutting edge research, or in the development of new and novel commercial processes.
Carbon Capture Pilot Plant
Strata modified off-the-shelf equipment to deliver against bespoke applications for this carbon capture pilot plant for the University of Nottingham to test new adsorbents for CO2 capture.
Carbon Capture Pilot Plant
Taking centre stage at Imperial College London’s South Kensington campus, this IChemE award-winning four-storey carbon capture pilot plant is used both for research and student learning.
Portable MEG Reclamation Demonstration Plant
Liaising with DNV to meet their 2.7.2 standards, Strata delivered a containerised portable Monoethylene Glycol (MEG) reclamation test unit for deployment into the Gulf of Mexico.
Monoethylene Glycol Recovery
3D modelling techniques were used to design a Monoethylene Glycol (MEG) recovery pilot plant for Cameron Process Systems to evaluate key parts of their PureMEG reclamation process.
Gas to Liquid (GTL) Pilot Plant
Produced for BP’s technology centre, this fully automated, modular and mobile Gas to Liquid (GTL) pilot plant can be monitored remotely and complements BP’s wider development programme.
Sustainable Polymer to Olefin Recycling Technology (SPORT) Reactor
Strata delivered a SPORT reactor for postgraduate students at the St Augustine Campus of The University of the West Indies to study BP’s Polymer Cracking Process.
Mobile Waste Water Treatment
Using a feasibility study combined with 3D modelling, Strata recommended an optimal pilot plant size for ‘plug and play’ portability inside a standard shipping container.
Carbon Capture Pilot Plant
Strata modified off-the-shelf equipment to deliver against bespoke applications for this carbon capture pilot plant for the University of Nottingham to test new adsorbents for CO2 capture.
Carbon Capture Pilot Plant
Taking centre stage at Imperial College London’s South Kensington campus, this IChemE award-winning four-storey carbon capture pilot plant is used both for research and student learning.
Fluor Pilot Plant
Strata’s Fluor pilot plant, commissioned by the University of Surrey, is the centrepiece of the renovated Chemical Engineering department for use by undergraduates and trainee chemical weapons inspectors.
UKCRIC Drinking Water Treatment Pilot Plant
As part of the UKCRIC resiliency initiative, Strata delivered a water treatment pilot plant for Cranfield University to research more cost-effective and environmentally friendly approaches to water treatment.
High Integrity Batch Reactor Pilot Plant
A challenging project, to construct a specialist, high-pressure batch reactor pilot plant that could be operated safely by a research chemist with limited process plant experience.
PVC Pilot Plant
A pilot-scale PVC production test facility with a sophisticated ventilation system, designed to enable our client’s in-house testing of specialist additives under real-world plant conditions.
Hydrogen Pyrolysis (HyPy) Rig
Hydrogen Pyrolysis is an analytical pyrolysis technique developed at The University of Nottingham, research they wanted to develop into a commercially viable product. Strata commissioned the first commercial HyPy rig in 2008.
Multi-Pass Rheometer (MPR)
The University of Cambridge Multi-Pass Rheometer (MPR) is a novel dual-piston capillary rheometer for investigating the rheological behaviour of melts, liquids and soft solids.
