The Institute of Materials Processing (IMP)
is an innovative, multi-disciplined, non-profit,
industrially oriented research and development
center holding over 60 patents. The IMP is housed in a $47.7 million
dollar
research facility on the
campus of Michigan Technological
University.
Though IMP is located within Michigan Tech, our funding comes solely from
royalties and research projects. IMP has been
providing entrepreneurs and industry with the resources to study minerals,
environmental concerns and materials processing for
over 40 years. Having
completed over 1200 projects for clientele such as The Ford Motor
Company,
General Motors, DaimlerChrysler, U.S. Steel,
INCO, Pfizer, the Michigan Department of
Environmental Quality (DEQ), the U.S. Department of Energy
(DOE), Cleveland Cliffs, and
numerous small firms, the IMP provides a broad spectrum of services to the
development and implementation of new processes. Confidential and or
proprietary projects are routinely conducted. With each stage of
development, from project conception to plant commissioning, the ideal
method to ensure a feasible project is through material
characterization and analysis, properly engineered
laboratory studies, pilot plant runs, and final circuit
refinement. Staffed by full-time research
engineers, scientists,
and technicians from diverse scientific backgrounds, who are dedicated to
assisting industry in problem-solving through the use of $20 million
dollars worth of advanced analytical instruments and modern processing
equipment, with immediate access to the resources of one the of the
largest
engineering schools in United States. We at the Institute of
Materials Processing can
assist you in meeting the challenges associated with each phase of your
project's development, from preliminary studies to the final design and
construction of a commercial operation.
