Our scientific team conducts extensive research and development work with industrial clients who wish to convert their waste streams into new products or who are analyzing their products prior to marketing or sale.
We can forensically analyse complex chemical and scientific issues to help you develop bespoke processes to manufacture new products or converting waste streams into products.
Decus Research are able to design and build testing equipment to mimic proposed industrial process techniques and to enable process optimisation. Our team has assisted our clients in the development of new treatment techniques, some of which have subsequently secured process patents or achieved end of waste status.
We are happy to work on a contract basis or partner with clients to develop commercial products.
Decus has assisted several companies to develop techniques to convert their spent flux into product for re-use. In some instances the fluxes have been mixed with other materials to create new materials that are purchased by industries.
Effluent from a process can have characteristics that can be beneficial to other industrial processes. Decus has developed a wide experience in this field and has assisted companies to convert their effluent into feedstock that is suitable for other users.
Effluent disposal costs can be significantly reduced if onsite treatment systems are developed to reduce the concentrations of contaminants or to enable recycling of products. Decus has extensive experience in the development of robust effluent reduction facilities.
Cleaning products are often used by industry in a single pass system where the resulting chemicals are disposed of. Significant cost savings and environmental benefits can be achieved if the cleaning products are regenerated and re – used. Decus has assisted several industries to achieve significant reductions in cleaning product purchase.
The study included an assessment of the fate of metals within each element of the plant being studied – Decus has undertaken research into the ability of various plants to selectively absorb heavy metals.
Decus developed a robust protocol to assess the bioaccumulation of heavy metals in Gammarus Pulex in aquatic systems both in the natural environment and in laboratory controlled conditions.
Decus has assisted industrial clients to improve the conversion rates of carbon wastes to gas using catalyst.
Syngas is produced by gasification processes. We have assisted our clients to develop techniques of converting the syngas to liquid fuels in micro GTL systems using catalysts.
Decus has assisted companies to optimise their gasification techniques by deployment of real time gas analysis techniques and field measurements.
Decus was retained by a client to assist in the development and optimisation of a process that converts plastic into liquid fuel. Decus developed bespoke testing protocols of the feedstock and of the produced fuel to enable a due diligence of the process to be undertaken.
Decus Research Limited is a UKAS accredited testing laboratory, No 4303.
We also participate in Performance Testing schemes such as AQUACHECK.
We assist industrial clients with optimisation of process engineering via quick 24-hour turnaround analysis and field testing where required.
