Process Engineering

A successful thin-film evaporation system consists of the right thin-film processor integrated with a number of properly designed subsystems.

Optimum performance of thin-film evaporators is directly related to balancing your system’s critical operating parameters. With extensive knowledge gained from over 40 years experience, LCI Process Engineers rapidly focus on those parameters, which are the keys to your success. LCI’s Pilot Plant facility (shown below) is available to develop parameters for your process when none are existing or to evaluate the impact of new formulations on existing capacities.

Determining the optimum operating parameters and controlling them are two different challenges. Our process engineers often develop complete system solutions that include critical feed, vacuum, heating, and discharge operations, all integrated into a customized control package. After 40 years and hundreds of installations, we know the right way of doing it!

LCI believes success is based on close collaboration with our clients. From initial project concept through installation, start-up, and successful operation, our Process Engineers work with your Development, Plant, and Process personnel to ensure success. Let us be your teaming partner for grass-roots installations, capacity expansions, and system upgrades. We will review your proposed control systems and P & I D’s to provide the most efficient and reliable operation.

If your need is modularization, LCI is your one-stop-shop.
Our modular systems can be bare-bones equipment and structure only or comprehensive "plug and play" modules complete with system controls completely wired, insulated and tested ready for installation on your foundation.
Our clients consider us a resource and utilize our talents as an extension of their own technical staff.
