What we offer

Test before you invest

Our R&D center in Dania, Denmark compliments the capabilities of our PT Test lab. At Dania, thousands of tons of raw materials are tested and analyzed each year to predict their behaviors when processed in applications such as in cement production. Our capabilities include R3 testing, XRF/XRD thermal analysis, calcining and emissions analysis, and pilot scale pyroprocessing.
