process development
| An important service component of spray research is the development
and optimization of industrial processes that utilize spray
technologies. Our capability to test with a wide variety of fluids
means that process development is often pursued with the actual process
fluids rather than with water or simulants. |

|
In addition to our extensive spray characterization technologies, process optimization efforts commonly utilize our spray dryer, particle separation test bed and low-speed wind tunnel/process duct section. The development of new processes will often require innovative atomizer designs and adaptive spray control systems. Our prototype shop and coordinate measurement equipment contribute to the unusual depth of support services offered by spray research. |
