Processes

in developing cost-effective processes for agriculturally-based products developed at FDC
or in the client's facility.

process design and optimization, process
troubleshooting, and equipment selection, design and evaluation. Process Development staff work closely with the client
and Product Development consultants to
achieve a consistent and high quality scaled-up commercial product.
Ideal Setting for Innovation
Process Development at FDC takes place in an ideal setting for
innovation. he FDC pilot plant is a federally registered
processing facility for processing of agricultural products in many
different commodity groups. All aspects of research and
development are completed using in-house resources. The client
has the opportunity to develop value-added products or extracted
components of virtually any type.
Renting the pilot plant and
appropriate in-house technology likewise allows the client
to identify and to overcome many of the operational difficulties inherent
in the scale-up process before making independent equipment expenditures. The client also becomes more skilled at projecting processing costs, which
is vital information to have for the successful launch of a product or
for proceeding with major
capital acquisitions.
