Modular Plants for Smart Manufacturing

My name is Katharina and I will show you how continuous modular plants will change chemical processing for a more sustainable future, using modular plug & play plants. We see some issues with batch processing. Sometimes there are concentration spots, the walls are too hot for the molecules. Our philosophy is that all molecules should have the same processing conditions. This we realize by looking at the critical parameters of the chemistry and selecting the right process intensification technology. Furthermore, the space-time-yield can be maximized by a magnitude or more by reducing mass and heat transfer distances, leading to much shorter residence times and compact designs. Since we already have a continuous operating plant in the lab, scale-up becomes much easier. Continuous manufacturing allows for superior quality control due to advanced PAT. Standardized modules enable a quick realization of reduced time to produce and time-to-market. More infos below video!

  • Sponsored Content Capacity Boost by Batch-to-Conti Debottlenecking

    Space economy is a typical issue for debottlenecking projects. Since a continuous approach reduces mass and heat transfer distances up to a factor of 100, these solutions can easily be integrated into an existing batch environment.

  • Sponsored Content Intensification Boost for Enzymatic Liquid/Gas Processes by means of Continuous Flow Processing

    O2-dependent biotransformation reactions have proven difficult in fine chemical manufacturing due to the mass transfer limitations of supplying O2 to the enzymatic reaction, hence affecting the level of efficiency achieved. 
     
  • Video 8 Differentiators that make Microinnova Unique

    Microinnova serves its customers as a one-stop-shop from development to manufacturing plants. The following eight differentiators make Microinnova unique. 1. Microinnova focuses on end-to-end continuous manufacturing, dealing with processes in the area of synthesis, work-up and formulation. 
    2. We work with a wide range of different process intensification technologies. We select the best technology for each process. We want to enable uniform process conditions for each molecule. 
    3. We are used to working in regulated environments. We are DIN EN ISO 9001 certified. We can build plants that fulfill typical standards for regulated environments like GMP and ATEX. 
    4. We can handle various conditions. We can process highly viscous materials like melts, suspensions, precipitates and solids in packed or trickle beds.
