Case Studies

Commercialization of Carbon Blocks

Process Industries Consultants was called in by a major industrial supplier to develop a plan for the commercialization of carbon blocks (powdered carbon + thermoplastic resin), both from an economic and technical perspective. Based on the open literature and Process Industries Consultants’ background in carbon block manufacture, a technical and economic study was developed demonstrating a viable path forward for the company.

Technical Assessment and Evaluation

Process Industries Consultants was requested by a Marketing Agency to develop, for a third party, a White Paper and Marketing Study on the future of remote sensing application – a technical assessment and an evaluation of future uses for both LIDAR and remote Optical sensors. Process Industries Consultants conducted research based on open literature to develop a multipage evaluation of both technologies, to assess both the technologies themselves and to demonstrate a path forward. This was presented to the client to guide his strategy.

Some of Our Partners

What Our Clients Have To Say:

We hired Dr. Shertok to consult on the scale-up and improvement of a complicated organic synthesis and purification process. In the last eight months, he has provided excellent insight and recommendations towards this end. Consistently professional and very easy to work with, Dr. Shertok has become an integral part of our manufacturing team. We are extremely pleased to have him on board.

We are fortunate to work with Dr. Joel Shertok as we turn Mars Materials ("Mars") from an idea into a full fledged business. Dr. Shertok has leveraged his long and rich process engineering career to unblock and advance our technology development efforts at each stage in our lifecycle. As a person, he brings calm, positivity and a joyful demeanor to work that's sometimes grueling and intense. At Mars, both his professional expertise and personality are always appreciated by me and our team.

Dr. Joel Shertok brings many years of industrial experience, mainly focused on process development and process optimization, but also in chemical production and vendor relations. Dr. Shertok currently consults with me and my production team in the manufacture of a polymer anion membrane for green hydrogen production at Versogen, Inc.

Joel has been invaluable to our environmental biotech startup. One of our major challenges is similar to that of a lot of startups - how to scale our technology for commercialization. Joel's expertise in process engineering has been a critical resource in this process, and the extensive network of manufacturers he has shared with us provided many opportunities.

"Dr. Joel Shertok has been an amazing mentor and advisor, his diverse expertise from scaling up chemical engineering processes to building and training an R&D team has been extremely valuable to me and my company, Carbonova Corp. He has been very effective in helping us prioritize activities in scale up and troubleshoot technical issues."
