Pilot Plant

Pilot Plant

Taiwan Heat Transfer can assist in planning various types of Pilot Plants. A Pilot Plant is a small-scale pre-production system of a trial nature, used when adopting new production technologies. Its primary purpose is to understand new technologies and obtain production parameters. The knowledge gained is then used to design comprehensive production systems and commercial products, as well as to determine further research goals and actual equipment deployment plans.

The term "Pilot Plant" is relative in nature, as Pilot Plants are typically smaller than full-scale production facilities, but their constructed scale varies. Additionally, since Pilot Plants are intended for learning, they are typically more flexible and may sacrifice economy. Pilot Plants require various process equipment, instruments, and piping, control procedures, and manufacturing.
