- Support in choosing the process equipment
- Chemical processing unit: batch neutralisation of a titanium dioxide gel
- Stripping unit: treatment of effluent from ammonia stripping
- Filtration and washing unit: filtration on a filter press The titanium cakes are then compacted, shredded and stored
- Solid production line: after calcination, the titanium is ground, sifted and packed
- Assistance with commissioning until the expected performance level was reached
