Amalgamated Research LLC

Amalgamated Research LLC (ARi) specializes in the research, development, and implementation of industrial separation, mixing, and fluid distribution technologies. The company is recognized for inventing engineered fractal technology, which utilizes precise channeling to optimize fluid transport and mixing. This patented technology, integrated into systems such as fractal mixers, reactors, and distributors, enables consistent performance and high efficiency during process scale-up. ARi’s core service offerings encompass the entire project lifecycle, from laboratory-scale testing and pilot-scale research to the fabrication and installation of full-scale industrial systems. The company is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Amalgamated Sugar Company LLC and is headquartered in Twin Falls, Idaho.

ARi provides critical separation and purification solutions, including simulated moving bed (SMB) chromatography and ion exchange processes, to industries such as food and sweeteners, renewables, biofuels, water treatment, mining, and petroleum. By leveraging their fractal fluid control, customers can scale applications—such as beet molasses desugarization and direct lithium extraction (DLE)—from pilot testing to massive commercial capacities without compromising performance. These technologies offer significant operational advantages, including reduced energy consumption, higher yields, and improved accuracy. With nearly 40 years of experience, ARi serves a global customer base, delivering custom-engineered technology solutions supported by comprehensive technical assistance and research facilities.
