Our services

Prayon’s technologies are patented and granted all around the world. Prayon, with its know-how and expertise is proud to offer its clients licenses and full process performance guarantees for each of its technologies.

Cutting-edge lab and pilot tests

Every raw material and every project is different. To select the best process to fit your raw material, we perform feasibility tests and validations in our laboratories and pilot facilities prior to starting a project.

With this “real life” testing approach, you know with certainty which raw materials and production processes are necessary to design your plants perfectly.

Prayon has extensive R&D and testing facilities in

• Prayon – Engis (Belgium)
• Prayon – Puurs (Belgium)
• Technophos – Varna (Bulgaria)

Technophos: testing your solutions & training your talents

Technophos, incorporating a semi-industrial demonstration plant, enables you to test new phosphate technologies for your products, giving you the certainty they meet your requirements.
Being a fully equipped industrial plant, it is also the perfect place to train your operators and engineers on the latest technologies in phosphate production.
Technophos supports R&D activities and is the testground to validate and demonstrate the Group’s innovative technologies to guarantee full performance.

Semi-industrial validation

Thanks to the Technophos semi-industrial plant in Bulgaria, you can have full confidence in the process parameters and yields for your raw materials.

We validate processes using your own raw materials, at a capacity up to 300kg/h of rock in this demonstration facility, equipped with state-of-the art industrial equipment, but at a smaller capacity and with real industrial instruments and process control (DCS).

Moreover, analyses are performed in the Technophos laboratory during production, giving you in record time all the process data needed to validate the process.

The facility is very versatile, as it can use low-grade phosphate rock as well as the membrane-based purification process and ion exchange.

Validation of external technologies

Technophos and the Prayon R&D Center can test and validate at lab, pilot and semi-industrial scale other technologies. For more information and personalized advise, please contact us.

Training through Plant Simulation

The Phosphoric Acid Virtual Plant Simulator is the perfect interactive training tool for any member of your staff to experience the reality of the process.

Based on real life scenarios, your operator or new trainee is put in charge of a phosphoric acid production plant. They virtually pilot the plant with a screen that displays the DCS parameters of the control room, while another screen informs them about the situation in the field (manual valves, samples…).

Plant operators are emerged in a virtual reality where they need to solve process issues presented in scenarios and exercises reflecting real life situations.

This is an outstanding way to enhance operational skills and operational excellence, and to meet safety requirements in chemical plants!

Training for operational excellence

Our comprehensive process and plant control training in our Technophos demonstration plant in Bulgaria is a real must to enhance operational excellence and safety on your plant.

During this unique 5 to 10 day training programme, your engineers and operators will learn how to run this reproduction of an industrial plant, with all its technical characteristics (type of equipment, material of construction…) and raw materials.

• Review process fundamentals (plant start-up procedure, plant operations, process control, process setpoints…)
• Exchange experiences with top experts
• Experiment with plant control and procedures in the field
• Having your operating team present in the field during equipment tests, hot commissioning and plant start-up complements the training programme with industrial activities.

With a clear understanding of processes, new diagnostic skills and the ability to anticipate situations, your engineers and operators will enhance their skills to run your plant safely and efficiently.

Depending on your needs, we can also organize training in our facilities in Belgium or at your site. As part of this training, we can also organize a visit to our phosphoric acid production unit and attached laboratory.

Prayon also offers training using its high-fidelity Phosphoric acid plant simulator.
