The Fraunhofer Institut IVV is specialized in process development for the CreaSolv^® Process, a solvent-based recycling process. In order to keep development cost for the interested client as low as possible the development normally breaks up in three steps:

• Feasability study (laoratory scale)
• Pilot scale (several 100 kilograms)
• Pilot plant (several 100 tons)

In pilot scale different process steps can be combined in the existing equipment, practically tested and optimized, before moving up to the next scale-up-level.

With this approach it is also possible to estimate process and investment cost, allowing for a high confidence level in the decision process. 

The Fraunhofer Association is an important supplier of innovative know-how and partner for small and medium sized companies (SMEs) without own research & development department.

A pilot plant with an annual capacity of 500 tons is planned as next stage of expansion.
