This diagram outlines the process of developing and testing pyroprocessing equipment prototypes before their final implementation at the PRIDE facility (PyRoprocessing Inactive DEmonstration Facility). The workflow includes the following steps:

1.3D Design Tool: Equipment designs are initially developed using a 3D modeling tool, which allows for a 1.detailed conceptualization and visualization of the system.

2.Computer Simulator: The 3D model is then imported into a computer simulator, where simulations and tests 2.are conducted. This stage ensures that the design functions as expected under virtual conditions, and any 2.necessary adjustments can be made based on the feedback obtained.

3.1/8 Scale (Lengthwise) Mock-up: After successful simulation, a scaled-down mock-up (at a 1/8 scale) is 3.fabricated for physical testing. This step involves creating a smaller version of the equipment to evaluate its 3.operation in real-world scenarios without the cost or complexity of full-scale prototyping.

4.Prototype Fabrication and Mock-up Test: Upon successful testing of the scaled model, a full-scale prototype 4.is fabricated. This prototype undergoes rigorous mock-up testing to validate its performance and identify any 4.issues.

5.System Implementation and Field Test in PRIDE: Finally, prototypes that pass the mock-up tests are 5.installed in the PRIDE facility (dimensions: 40.3m(L) x 4.8m(W) x 6.4m(H)). The PRIDE facility is a 5.dedicated environment for further field testing of the equipment. This stage involves the comprehensive testing 5.of the fully installed system to ensure that it meets all operational requirements before final deployment.

Throughout this process, feedback loops between the stages enable continuous refinement and validation of the equipment, ensuring its readiness for full-scale operations in pyroprocessing applications.
