PSRI is an international consortium of companies focused on advancing technology in multiphase flows with granular and granular-fluid systems. PSRI focuses on large-scale experiments, mathematical models, and the design and optimization of granular-fluid unit operations such as cyclones, pneumatic conveying, fluidized beds, ebullated beds, slurry beds, and circulating fluidized beds. We are the conduit from using new technology developed in the lab to applications in the field for many companies, including Ascend Performance Materials, BASF, BP, Chevron, Chevron Phillips, Dow Chemical, ExxonMobil, Flour, SABIC, IFPEN, Phillips 66, Siemens, Technip Energies, UOP Honeywell, etc. Our company has amassed a prolific amount of design data, technology, know-how, design criteria and models on all aspects of slurries, liquid injection, fluidization, entrainment, pneumatic conveying, attrition, erosion, distributors, standpipes, solids transfer, and circulating fluidized beds. In short, we are globally recognized as being the premiere leader in the research and development of granular fluid operations.
