Consultancy Services
Capability we can transfer to you
For companies building their own extraction capability, we take on design, development and project work directly.
01
Herbal Extraction Projects
Plant layouts, solvent recovery design and utility sizing for greenfield and expansion extraction facilities.
02
Product Development
From marker selection and extraction trials through to stability data and a transferable manufacturing process.
03
Project Management
Design engineering, vendor coordination, commissioning and qualification — in full or as individual work packages.
