At BC Research Inc. we combine our customizable facilities and technical expertise to perform unconventional chemistries under demanding reaction conditions reflective of those used in industrial processes. While others may avoid such testing, our work routinely involves the safe handling of toxic, explosive, corrosive, and highly volatile chemicals under harsh reaction conditions. Our robust safety programs allow us to identify and safely manage the risks associated with extreme operating conditions such as high temperature and high pressure.

Our team has extensive experience working with challenging industrial chemistries and demanding operating conditions. This includes the generation, handling, and utilization of hydrogen in both chemical and electrochemical applications, as well as the operation of multiphase reactor systems that involve highly exothermic reactions with thermal runaway potential. We also have deep expertise in the use of distillation, scrubbing, and stripping columns to recover and purify a wide range of reactive and/or hazardous gaseous and liquid streams. In addition, we design and operate novel high-temperature thermochemical reactors for renewable fuel production and hydrogen generation. This experience has given us a deep understanding of the material requirements, critical process control parameters, and safe operating practices needed to work under demanding reaction conditions.
