Pilot scale demonstration definition

Pilot scale demonstration means a small, laboratory model-size demonstration that is larger than a bench-scale demonstration and smaller than a full-size demonstration. “Bench-scale” demonstrations are typically small laboratory set-ups used to verify certain research concepts or processes. It takes the basic research one step further to perform preliminary demonstration tests. After basic research determines that the technology or strategy has demonstrated preliminary feasibility, a pilot-scale demonstration or test is used to validate results and provide proof of concept. Pilot demonstrations test the design and validity of an approach, and adjustments can be made at this stage before full-scale demonstrations.
