The Industry Services program consists of a group of self funding projects relying entirely on money received from services rendered to industry and other clients, utilizing primarily the Center's Research Oil Mill Pilot Plant Facilities. Pilot plant extractions using varied solvents and preparation techniques are used to assist industry in improving new and existing processes, and developing new products.
Critical findings vary with the project.
Many findings are developed under a confidentiality agreement with the client and therefore are not published or discussed. Many new products and processes have been developed for the benefit of American and foreign companies. Such work will include the production of small amounts of test market materials etc.
