Research & Technology Development

Process industries such as refining, petrochemicals, specialty chemicals, natural gas, and utilities are major economic enablers and contributors. Amid rising oil, gas and energy prices, as well as movements towards becoming clean energy producers and reduce GHG emissions, these industries are now forced to operate nimbly in order to be globally competitive, green and sustainable. 

​

Alta Process Solutions research and technology development team provides collaborative R&D services to industry, government, and consortia seeking competitive advantages through innovations in technology. Our close relations with universities and research centres enables our highly trained engineers and scientists to conduct research and development projects and to be at the forefront of innovative technology development in Process Integration field. Over the last four decades, our R&T team have worked on numerous Process Integration projects resulting in publishing more than 130 scientific papers in international journals and conference proceedings. Some of the latest research and technology development projects that we are currently working on are:
