Piloting is often required by investors for a process that is not commercially proven or that is to be applied to a new feedstock.  The overarching purpose is mitigation of scaleup risks.  A pilot plant is neither a small-scale plant nor a large laboratory.  It is a purpose-built operation designed to provide the required information. 

Typical goals, among others, for piloting are to:

1. Demonstrate the operability and performance of a process using representative feedstock, often ore, on a continuous basis.
2. Gather engineering design and performance data for corrosion, liquid-solid separation, process conditions, etc.
3. Make sufficient product(s) for evaluation by potential buyers.
