The Particle Research Facility is dedicated to the advancement of research, innovation, and technological development through the provision of an affordable and easy to access facility and a platform for collaborative research and development.

The Particle Research Facility (PRF) was created in the fall of 2005 as part of a continual effort by the Particle Technology Research Western (PTRW), and the Department of Chemical and Biochemical Engineering (UWO) to establish a world leading particle research and development facility at UWO.

PRF is equipped with a variety of particle processing and handling equipment to provide versatile, high quality contract services. Furthermore, our group of knowledgeable researchers can provide custom processing and handling solutions to meet specific applications and requirements. With emphasis placed on industrial partnership we will work with you to develop an economical solution to your R&D needs.
