What Knowledge Do You Need?

Welcome to TheLab and the world of chemical engineering.

From the moment you wake each day until you retire again, everything in the man-made world that you see, hear, feel, smell, or taste was invented by, produced by, developed by, scaled-up by, modeled by, or made possible by a chemical engineer. Literally EVERYTHING you encounter has in some way been touched by a ChemE.

Of all the engineering disciplines, chemical engineering is the broadest and most difficult to master. For this reason, Dr. Gary S. Huvard, a nationally and internationally known chemical engineer with 30 years of broad industrial and academic experience, has hand-picked and trained a group of especially talented young chemical engineers to staff TheLab. TheLab is a state-of-the-art chemical process and product development laboratory. No matter what knowledge you need to be successful in your business, the chemical engineers at TheLab can help you find the right answers.

We are experts in thermodynamics and chemical equilibria, reaction engineering, mass and heat transfer, process synthesis, design, simulation and scale-up, process economics and optimization, and much more. We specialize in diffusion and mass transport, especially in polymers. We are equally adept at product development and in creating novel, environmentally sound and sustainable chemistries to address your product needs in the 21st century.

The chemical engineers at TheLab work on processes and products spanning the entire spectrum of chemical, pharmaceutical, biochemical, and medical industries. Experience and breadth combined with raw talent, unparalleled training, and unbridled youthful energy make TheLab the hands-down choice for your process and product development needs.
