Particle Production

At InVerTec, we specialize in the continuous synthesis and engineering of advanced particulate materials. By combining customized reactor designs with optimized process chemistry, we seamlessly handle diverse liquid and gaseous feedstocks, tailoring the final particle size, morphology, and chemical composition to meet strict industrial specifications.

Key capabilities

• Continuous synthesis of tailored nano- and micro-particles
• Precise control over particle size distribution, morphology, and composition
• Plasma-assisted conversion of liquid and gaseous hydrocarbon feedstocks
• Single-step reactive spray drying of solutions and suspensions
• High-purity gas-phase synthesis in fluidized bed and free-space reactors
• End-to-end process development from laboratory trials to industrial production

Technical Focus

• Plasma-Assisted Synthesis: We utilize plasma technologies to process both liquid and gaseous feedstocks, with specific expertise in the treatment of complex hydrocarbons to produce highly customized nano- and micro-particles with tailored physical properties.
• Reactive Spray Drying: We engineer continuous processes to transform liquid precursors, solutions, and suspensions directly into solid particles. This technique allows for strict control over droplet atomization and thermal evaporation, making it ideal for defining exact particle size and morphology, or for establishing integrated composite material matrices.
• Advanced Gas-Phase Reactors: We design and operate specialized reactor systems—including Fluidized Bed Reactors (FBR) and free-space reactors—tailored for high-purity particle production directly from gaseous precursors. A core capability is the highly controlled thermal decomposition of reactive gases to synthesize advanced functional materials, such as high-purity silicon particles.

Achievements

• Custom Process & Reactor Development: We continuously evolve our capabilities to develop entirely new, bespoke particle synthesis routes, coupling custom reaction zones with specialized precursor dosing, thermal quenching, and downstream particle recovery.
• Validated Advanced Material Synthesis: Successfully demonstrated across demanding R&D and pilot applications, including the synthesis of high-purity solar-grade silicon granules and battery composites, the microwave-plasma expansion of fine mineral powders into hollow glass microspheres, and the plasma-assisted production of functional carbon black particles.
