Brix-Berg Philosophy
Our Mission Statement:
The Brix-Berg corporate mission is to be the leading R&D and process
development company in the field of extractive and azeotropic
distillation.
Our objectives are to:
A Extend
the state-of-the-art in separations technology related to meaningful
industrial and biomedical applications, and
B Develop
processes and support services to facilitate commercialization
worldwide.
Our Commandments?
It may sound corny in the age of quarterly profits and short term
everything, but Brix-Berg has developed a internal ten commandment
list that has served to govern our business philosophy as well as
directs our internal long range R&D.
We are pleased to share the following;
|
1 |
Thou
shall not burn by-product chemicals produced by any process
except as a last resort to recover energy value or reduce
pollution potential. |
|
2 |
Thou
shall not sell mixes except for the sum total value of their
components except as a last resort to recover energy value
or reduce pollution potential. |
|
3 |
Each
chemical produced by the industry should have a separation
process developed regardless to economics, because economics
and societal concerns change. |
|
4 |
A
research priority of every firm should be to develop ways of
purifying and separating everything they make. To do less is
a disservice to the potential of the chemical, the process
and the company stakeholders. |
|
5 |
The
products you make today, may be the raw materials for the
ones you make tomorrow. |
|
6 |
Never,
ever sell a chemical for less than its highest value
potential. |
|
7 |
Always
create, develop first. If you don’t economics can never
catch up. |
|
8 |
Move
towards green, renewable, non-petroleum based materials. |
|
9 |
Develop separation options and use the least resource
consuming (energy, power, agents, labor) options
available. |
|
10 |
Treat
the chemicals you make as you would your children-because
they are. |
In the last fifteen years this philosophy has resulted in 300
patents, fifty process licenses and laboratory experimentation
resulting in physical data (including pressure, temperature, binary
and ternary mixes, plus extractive and azeotropic agents) from
over 45,000 runs.
