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.
