About SUSPROC
SUSPROC is the UK’s Sustainable Processing and Advanced Manufacturing Centre. It helps companies and organisations test, develop and scale up sustainable processes and energy solutions. Its practical and commercial approach enables customers to enter valuable and new markets as quickly as possible.
SUSPROC helps clients test and develop ideas without ever losing sight of the need for commercial competitiveness. This means customers can:
- Be first to market. Take advantage of SUSPROC’s facilities and expertise to fast-track ideas into full-scale production capabilities. This allows clients to be first to market with more sustainable products, processes and better energy solutions; and so access valuable and new markets quickly.
- See all the possibilities. Test ideas in a comprehensive and rigorous way, so that all information is used to provide crucial data for process and business models. This will ensure all the possible opportunities can be explored, often giving customers additional options to pursue.
- Work in the real world. Take advice from SUSPROC experts who approach client projects from a commercial and industry perspective – rather than an academic or theoretical viewpoint. This means solutions are always profitable, pragmatic and practicable.
- Reduce risk. Test and refine technology and the business case before making significant investment in plant and equipment.
- Reduce cost. Engage expert help with designing processes, helping clients reduce cost by suggesting alternative methods and materials.
- Prove it. Develop robust and persuasive evidence to reassure investors and stakeholders.
- Work at their own level. Engage services at any point in the industrial lifecycle – from refining established processes to testing the feasibility of new concepts.
- Anticipate the future. Test plans using state of the art equipment; helping clients understand what plant and equipment will be the best buy. Take advice from well-connected experts who are alert to the latest technological developments worldwide and are highly creative problem-solvers.
- Meet and anticipate required standards for carbon emission reduction. Use facilities and technology to create processes that reduce emissions and investigate alternative energy solutions. This will future-proof processes against tighter legislative controls.
SUSPROC is a business unit of the Centre for Process Innovation (CPI), and is located on Teesside at the Wilton Centre.
