Our Commitment
Optimizing our customers' processes for purification and separation success.
Pulling from our extensive history of fully engineered solutions, we develop and optimize each process by engineering and manufacturing quality equipment and systems that reduce waste and energy consumption.
ARTISAN PILOT TESTING FACILITY

Data before capital
Reasons clients choose Artisan.
Industry Leaders
For more than 90 years, Artisan has advanced thermal separation technology, with proprietary systems including ROTOTHERM®, E/S™, SPS®, and JET-VAC® operating in plants worldwide.
Tailored Solutions
No two process streams behave alike, so no Artisan system starts from a catalog. Our engineers listen first, then design the separation approach around your material, your operating conditions, and your production goals.
Integrated Facility
Process engineering, pilot testing, fabrication, and long-term service all happen within one organization. The team that designs your system also builds it, so accountability never changes hands.
Expert Insights
When you work with Artisan, you work directly with the engineers solving your problem. Their guidance runs from the first feasibility conversation through startup and the years of operation that follow.
Proven Results
Artisan’s experience is reflected in long-standing client relationships and separation systems that continue to perform under demanding production conditions.
Integrated Capabilities for
Complex Process Challenges
Artisan connects process engineering, pilot-scale validation, equipment design, manufacturing, and long-term support within a single technical environment. This allows separation challenges to be understood from the material behavior up, with each recommendation grounded in application data, operating requirements, and the realities of production-scale performance.
The right approach starts with your material: its behavior, throughput requirements, and performance goals – not a catalog. That translation happens before a single piece of equipment is ever specified.
When conventional technology can’t handle the stream, Artisan designs and builds around it – thin-film evaporators, strippers, pervaporation modules, and custom vessels engineered for heat-sensitive, viscous, or solids-bearing material.
Vacuum system performance comes down to process load, operating pressure, and material compatibility – not a standard spec. Ejector-based systems, condensers, and liquid ring pumps are matched to your application.
Testing your actual material first means a capital decision backed by real data, not a projection. Pilot testing, feasibility studies, and process development reduce risk before you commit.
Industry-leading excellence, experienced firsthand.
For decades, Artisan has delivered separation systems that drastically lower operational footprints and maximize purity. That performance is reinforced through processes validated before capital is committed and solutions delivered for applications other suppliers could not test.
See how a ROTOTHERM® system saves one chemical manufacturer more than $300,000 a year.
Don't Just Take Our Word for It
Hear from the people who are relying on Artisan for their process challenges.
“I was introduced to Artisan more than a decade ago as part of a very challenging azeotropic separation challenge and quickly realized the value of Artisan’s business model to help solve the toughest thermal separations problems. What makes Artisan unique is their ability to help their customers conceptualize a potential solution, pilot that solution on a very short timeframe, and ultimately deliver a commercial scale equipment solution; they can pilot and test when all other OEMs cannot. Since 2012, we have leveraged Artisan to solve over a dozen different process technology challenges, all with unique solutions that have reduced operational expense, improved product quality and streamlined the overall process. Artisan occupies a unique place in the Chemical Industry as a small OEM that punches well above their weight class.”
Glenn CormackGlobal Process Innovation Manager | Lubrizol 
“We have had the pleasure of working with Artisan for the last 30 years on over 15 different projects. Artisan’s thin film technology and experienced engineering staff helped us achieve lower residuals than the rest of the industry, allowing our company to experience explosive growth. As the world moves toward higher purity intermediates, we know we can rely on Artisan’s highly dedicated pilot testing staff to push the limits of what was previously thought possible.”
Mark Barkett, LSSBBOperations Technology Manager | Dover Chemical Corporation “I felt like the entire testing group was genuinely interested in satisfying my process needs and getting the desired end product.” “Several conditions were tried to get the desired outcome, which provides insight on the equipment capabilities.”
Celanese ChemicalsCelanese Chemicals “Everything we wanted to do was done and much was learned about the process/equipment.” “Pilot operations made it work. Without them it would have been inefficient and costly.”
Mike Leamen, PhD, P.Eng.Director of Engineering | Strenna Industries “We chose Artisan because they were knowledgeable and because they had a pilot plant that could prove the process before we scaled up to production.”
