	Process Technology:
	Your choices are...
	Atomization / Powder Production		Powders are produced through an atomization, spray drying, milling, precipitation, or other proprietary process.
	Blending / Mixing		Mixers or blenders are driven by a shaft, speed reducer, or electric motor.
	Coating		Bulk materials such as powders, granules, or continuous webs are coated.
	Compounding		Compounding mixes or blends and/or reacts all of the ingredients required to produce a finished product. For example, a compounded plastic resin or elastomer compound typically consists of base polymer resin(s), chemical additives, and reinforcing or extending fillers. Compounding can be used for plastics, rubber, elastomers, cleaning agents, lubricants, greases, masterbatch colorants (pigments, dyes), additive masterbatches, organic chemicals, chemical additives, metal working fluids, oils, oil and fuel additives, fuel mixtures, and other materials.
	Condensation / Cooling		Condensation changes a gas to a liquid or a solid, or a liquid to a solid. Chill roll systems, heat exchangers, chillers and direct convective cooling equipment are used cooling processes.
	Crushing / Compacting		Waste products are crushed, compacted, used for storage, contaminant extraction, or recycling. For example, used oil filters or containers are often crushed to extract any remaining waste oil.
	Crystallization		Crystallization cools a liquid solution or evaporates a solvent in order to form solid, solute crystals. As they leave the crystallizer, the slurry crystals are often forced through a circulation evaporator and may subsequently be separated from the liquid in a filter or centrifuge.
	Drying / Freeze Drying		Drying uses evaporation, sublimation, or freeze-drying processes to remove liquids or moisture from bulk solids, powders, parts, continuous sheets or other liquids.
	Encapsulation / Encasement		Encapsulation entraps or encases a hazardous material to contain the pollutant for abatement, shipping, and/or storage purposes.
	Filtration / Extraction		Molecular sieve filtration often uses a porous molecular structure that selectively adsorbs or rejects molecules based on differences in molecular size or shape.
	Formulation		Formulas are developed for chemical, polymer, or material intensive products. Formulas provide ingredients, amounts, and processing instructions.
	Granulation / Agglomeration		Granulation, pelletization, briquetting or agglomerations are size enlargement processes. Granulation or agglomeration increases particle size by adhering or bonding together several fine particles with a liquid or wax binder to from larger agglomerates. Pelletization or briquetting compacts fine powders into larger pellets or briquettes.
	Melting / Spheroidization		Melting changes a solid to a liquid. Spheroidization melts or fuses particle surfaces in order to remove asperities.
	Milling / Size Reduction		Milling, ball milling, crushing, shredding, granulating, pulverizing, or other services are offered in order to reduce coarse, bulk solids into finer granules or powders.
	Packaging / Microencapsulation		Packaging is used for chemicals, pharmaceuticals or bulk materials such as powders, granules, liquids or continuous webs. Alternatively, packaging also provides encapsulation, microencapsulation, tableting, blister packaging or drug delivery systems for powdered or liquid drugs, vitamins or other substances.

	Screening / Grading		Screening, grading, sizing or other particle classification services for bulk or powdered materials are included.
	Other		Other unlisted processes or reactions.

	Run / Batch Size:
	Your choices are...
	Laboratory / Benchtop Scale		Typically, laboratory or benchtop scale means that processing capacity does not exceed a few pounds or a few gallons. Actual quantities vary based on the type of material. For example, laboratory scale quantities may be expressed in milligrams for nanomaterials and specialized biochemical compounds. Usually, one person can easily and safely operate laboratory scale equipment. This category excludes facilities whose function is to produce commercial quantities.
	Pilot Scale		Pilot scale is a small-scale production process that is larger than laboratory scale and used to develop a subsequent full-scale process. Typically, pilot scale quantities are in the range of several drums (e.g., 55-gallon drums) or hundreds of pounds or gallons; however, quantities vary with the density and type of processed material, chemical or product. Pilot scale facilities are better than laboratory scale facilities at simulating production processes and can be used for troubleshooting, improving and optimizing processes.
	Production Lots / Field Scale		Companies have commercial, production, field or industrial scale processing facilities. Typically, the processing ranges are in thousands of gallons or pounds; however, quantities vary by material, chemical, or product.
	Other		Other process scales.

Refractory metals are used in high temperature, structural, electrical, and other specialty applications. Reactive metals combine readily with oxygen at elevated temperatures to form very stable oxides. Titanium, zirconium, and beryllium are considered reactive metals. Finely divided reactive metals can react explosively with oxygen and are often added to rocket fuels or combustible mixtures.
