The process has been operating in a continuous pilot plant for the last 18 months The project demonstrated that the technology can be used with herbaceous crops and agri- waste. Herbaceous crops have been the subject of extensive studies & agronomic trials in our experimentation field (ha dedicated to RD) Dario Giordano, Global Director Corporate Research & Development, M&G/Chemtex
