Specialty and Custom Chemicals Manufacturing

Growing U.S. based specialty and custom chemical manufacturing custom designs or existing equipment utilization.

AVN operates small scale production facilities geared toward low-volume specialty chemicals. These facilities are equipped with standard chemical plant utilities, a modern DCS control system platform, and a data historian.

Operations are supported by a well-equipped analytical laboratory and knowledgeable staff. Our team is experienced in implementing new chemistries, and our research organization has the capability to perform validation test prior to scale-up, when necessary for safety, technical, or quality control reasons.

We can operate in batch or continuous mode based on product requirements and total cost. Batch reactors can be faster and simpler to implement, while continuous operations are typically more economical once established. Quality considerations, catalysts, and reaction conditions can also influence the preferred mode of operation. Our team can reconfigure process connections and unit operations to support either approach.

Journey Partner from Discover to Deployment

AVN is capable of commercial-scale production of new technologies for the market. We realize customer time and cost savings when we pair our skilled technician workforce and our powerful R&D technical team with our chemical manufacturing facilities.

All under one roof, AVN offers product development through laboratory research, pilot plant scale-up, and commercial scale manufacturing.
