The beginnings of ESCON in the late 90s themed around applied thermodynamics at the departments of process engineering and food technology of the Berlin Technical University, where the two co-founders ran various pilot operations.
Originally conducting factory performance analyses, heat and mass balances and process optimization for the international sugar industry, soon the focus shifted towards process design and technology supply.
ESCON has been established as a limited liability corporation (GmbH) in 2002, with the aim to provide Fractal SMB Chromatography and IEX Purification Technologies for many different industries as worldwide licensee of Amalagamated Research LLC. With over 200 projects completed and more than 80 Fractal-based systems built, including the world’s largest SMB Chromatography system (750 t molasses per day), this partnership has become quite successful.
Over the years, ESCON has expanded its activities into the fields of project management, detail engineering, financing and procurement. Our staff of widely acknowledged experts enables ESCON to offer also complementing technologies like evaporators and complete evaporator stations as well as condensing systems.
Key components and process design are developed in close cooperation with Amalgamated Research LLC, the leading research and development group in the field of separation, mixing and fluid distribution/collection technologies.
ESCON will be your partner throughout your project – starting from concept & process development stage, via engineering and interface management up to complete supply and full onsite support.
