Laboratoire & Test

ST Equipment & Technology (STET) has a fully equipped pilot plant test facility and analytical laboratory in Needham, MA, capable of processing a wide range of finely ground, dry powders. STET utilise régulièrement l'usine pilote pour quantifier les caractéristiques de séparation et de traitement d'une variété de matériaux, y compris le charbon pulvérisé (PC) fly ash, talc, calcium carbonate, barite, heavy mineral sands, feldspar, iron ore, graphite, phosphate, potash and others. STET has a wide variety of expertise with all aspects of dry mineral processing. De plus,, STET a récemment élargi sa capacité de laboratoire pour inclure la transformation des aliments et des matières fourragères, y compris les repas d'oléagineux. (repas de tournesol, repas de canola, farine de colza et Farine de soja), repas d'animaux et d'os, impulsions, légumineuses et autres farines. Our team of highly qualified pilot plant technicians, laboratory chemists and process engineers will optimize the separation performance of your material and provide meaningful insight into the results.

The STET laboratory can analyze a wide variety of materials. Our analytical capabilities include:

• Chemistry by X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF). Sample preparation as fused lithium borate glass beads or pressed powder pellets
• Quantitative Mineralogy by X-Ray Diffraction (XRD)
• Wet Screening & Dry Ultrasonic Screening
• LECO Carbon and Moisture Analysis
• Dry Laser Particle Size Analysis
• Specific Gravity by Gas Pycnometer and/or Kerosene Flask
• Loss on Ignition (LOI) testing up to 1100°C
• Wet chemistry methods including acid dissolution
• Humidité et cendres par perte de poids
• Optical Microscopy
• Teneur en protéines par la méthode DUMAS
