Southwest Research Institute® (SwRI®) is an independent, nonprofit, applied research and development organization headquartered in San Antonio, Texas, on more than 1,500 acres with more than 3,100 employees and an annual research volume of nearly $844 million. We accelerate process development by expediting the design, build-up, and operation of pilot plants for various conventional and novel processes. Our capabilities include

  • working with a variety of pilot plants, including circulating fluidized beds, fixed bed reactors, and novel thermochemical reactor systems;
  • conducting laboratory validation or proof-of-concept experiments;
  • modifying and operating standard refinery pilot plants to produce test quantities of materials (liters to drums);
  • conducting process development R&D;
  • helping our clients troubleshoot, optimize, and scale up chemical and petroleum processes;
  • provide services such as pyrolysis, gasification, chemical looping, hydrotreating, hydrocracking, and distillation;
  • independent third-party testing and analysis for the oil and gas industries.
