SGS’ experienced plant professionals continually develop and demonstrate bankable flowsheets and processes for environmentally sustainable extraction. These flowsheets are confirmed on-site through bench and pilot plant testing programs that are internationally recognized by the global engineering and financial communities.  With SGS, your pilot testing program will:

• Result in practical, cost effective, environmentally sound processing
• Provide data for capital and operating cost estimates
• Test and prove new processes or the addition of new intellectual property into existing processing circuits
• Generate higher value through improved recovery or cost savings
• Provide bankable milestones to maximize financing options

SGS has extensive experience running pilot plants.  From our experience at our sites in Fort McMurray and Lakefield, Canada, Perth Australia and Santiago Chile, we have the technical expertise, project management systems, on-demand analytical and mineralogical support as well as the training, standard operating procedures and health and safety systems to ensure pilot plants can be successfully completed.

Our expertise extends back to the 1950s and we are the acknowledged industry leader in providing bankable reports via pilot plant activities.
