Development

R&D labs

Each of the 2 sites has its own R&D team being able to develop processes with the view to apply them at industrial scale.

Pilot facilities

Each site has its own pilot plant with multipurpose reactors ranging from 4 to 280 liters. Pilot plants are also equipped with distillation up to 60 plates, autoclave up to 90 bars.

La Mesta is also equipped with continuous flow reactors Raptor ® for high pressure and temperature synthesis (250 bar / 300°C).

Process Industrialization

To adapt and install the most effective industrial equipment which fits best the synthesis elected is the core offer from AET Group with its 2 branches :

• Chemistry : La Mesta core competence

• Chemical Engineering : Chemsis core competence in automatism, control, conception and qualification for equipment adaptation or installation

Chemsis knowhow allows La Mesta to have access to equipment with shorter leadtime and more flexible economical conditions than when dealing with subcontractor.
