About AD Process Strategies
AD Process Strategies Sàrl is a consulting company in the field of fluorine technologies, founded in 2007 in Geneva. Owner Alain Dreveton offers process engineering know-how for the production of hydrogen fluoride (HF/AHF), aluminium fluoride (AlF3), fluorosilicic acid (H2SiF6/FSA), fumed silica and silane, including fully decarbonized process variants. The portfolio includes technology consulting, joint-venture projects for fluorochemicals and the mining of fluorspar and other minerals (iron, manganese, copper), as well as sales representation for fluorspar and the sale of deposits. The company is organized as a sole proprietorship and works internationally with operators and plant engineers.
