INVESTIGATION AND ANALYTICAL EXPERTISE
During the course of manufacturing operations, the performance of your process can be altered. The consequences can be significant including a loss of productivity, quality and in worst case, the impossibility to reach targeted product specifications.
This can have multiple, non-obvious causes, such as variations in the raw materials, flocculation during processing, problems with washing and rinsing effluents, the persistance of coloration, etc.
To help you identify the problem and take appropriate action, we can provide you with services unique in the industry:
- Identifying the exact causes of your process- or product-related problem thanks to complete and unique analytical capabilities
- Developing the analytical methods to be implemented at your site to make sure you will be able to anticipate the problem
- Proposing and designing process upgrades to prevent the problem from occurring again
- Implementing this process solution at your site after demonstration of its efficiency through piloting studies.
We can provide a rare analytical expertise for multiple products, using various international norms (ICUMSA, ISBT, AFNOR, JEFCA…), adapted to food and bioindustrial markets, including:
