Process plant division

We build the plants that make the materials.

Behind every plastic part, fibre, coating or battery component is a chemical reaction that has to run safely, continuously and to specification. AKSEL designs and supplies the production plants where those reactions happen — from polymerization and polycondensation lines to oxidation, crystallization and thermal treatment units.

Working with an established international network of process licensors, partner laboratories and heavy-equipment manufacturers, we take responsibility for the complete pathway: defining the route, validating it at pilot scale, engineering the plant, fabricating the critical equipment and bringing the line to nameplate capacity.

  • Proven process packages & recipes
  • Pilot-validated scale-up
  • In-house critical equipment
  • Integrated automation & DCS
  • On-site commissioning teams
  • Performance guarantee testing

Integrated delivery

Technology, equipment and engineering — connected.

One project pathway links route development, equipment selection and implementation, so nothing is lost between the licensor, the fabricator and the site.

Plant architecture

A typical continuous polymer line.

Every plant is engineered for its route, but most share the same backbone: controlled feed, reaction, volatile recovery and finishing — tied together by one control system.
