Abstract
Once an innovative process idea has been formulated, it has to be systematically worked on to take it to a full-scale plant level for commercial gain. This consists of: (a) laboratory scale testing to prove the concept (b) followed by pilot plant test work to confirm the laboratory scale results and develop design data for a full-scale plant. Pilot scale test work is also used to evaluate materials of construction for the full-scale plant. Based on the information developed at the pilot level, a full-scale plant is built for commercial production. Once the full-scale plant is built, it is taken through a series of commissioning steps, viz., precommissioning, dry and wet commissioning, and hot commissioning. This is followed by performance testing. During this time, all the problem areas are identified and rectified to bring the plant up to design capacity. The complete process of conceiving an innovative idea and bring it to a commercial operation could take anywhere up to 10 years.
