Applied R&D in Flow and Formulation Chemistry

Microreactors or, more generally, flow reactors enable a precise control of chemical processes. This fact and the conversion of chemical processes from batch to continuous processes correlated with the use of flow reactors allow an intensification of the processes as well as the improvement of their efficiency. Often, the use of flow reactors serves to overcome limitations resulting from mass or heat transport limitations in chemical reactions. Additionally, flow reactors allow opening up novel process windows by a better control of extreme reaction and process conditions. When identifying the weaknesses and limitations of a process and in the selection and the design of suitable reactors and devices, we are taking advantage of our extensive experience from more than 20 years. Building on this, we carry out customized, experimental process development in a lab environment which is focused on continuous processes.
