Kingston Process Metallurgy Inc. (KPM)

Kingston Process Metallurgy Inc. (KPM) is an integrated contract chemical process development company, founded in 2002. KPM specializes in providing comprehensive research and development services to clients across the chemical, mining, and metallurgical industries. The company distinguishes itself by integrating lab-based experimental research with a deep understanding of fundamental chemistry, advanced process modeling, and rigorous techno-economic evaluation to deliver meaningful and actionable results.

KPM's core services include client-driven experimental process development and optimization, conducted at both laboratory and pilot scales. This experimental work is often guided by insights derived from their techno-economic analysis studies. The company possesses extensive experience in performing techno-economic analysis (TEA) and computer modeling to support all phases of process design, development, evaluation, and optimization. Furthermore, KPM offers material characterization, analysis, and custom testing services, addressing a wide array of issues related to chemistry, material science, and metallurgy.

KPM assists companies in formulating robust development plans, clarifying key operating parameters to refine CAPEX/OPEX estimates, and undertaking conceptual process design, including heat and mass balances, and flowsheet development. These preliminary designs can then be utilized by engineering firms for detailed feasibility studies, with subsequent stages often handled in KPM's substantial piloting facilities. The company operates a 12,000 ft² facility housing five flexible laboratories, an analytical lab, SEM-EDX capabilities, and on-site design and fabrication for custom test equipment, complemented by an additional ~25,000 ft² of piloting space. KPM serves a diverse client base, ranging from large multinational corporations to innovative startups, providing clarity on the technical feasibility of complex processes.
