Fine Chemicals

Fine chemicals are high-value, yet technologically challenging to develop and produce products. The fine chemicals area has two persistent needs for improvement through technology:

• Time to market is critical, especially for products produced on-demand in constantly changing markets.
• Product quality factors are of ultimate importance even though quantification of these factors may be difficult.

CWB Tech can work with you in the following areas:

• Conceptualization and Dominant Factor Identification
  • Objective: Determine what "handles" you can use to manipulate the desired variable. Determine which of the feasible processes is most likely the economic winner.
  • Value Added: A well thought-out and optimized manufacturing process.
• MOPD (Multi-Objective Process Development)
  • Objective: Achieve your process development objective with minimum time and cost.
  • Value Added: Lower R&D costs.
• Reaction Engineering/Scale up
  • Objective: Design the best (multiphase) reactor combining experimental work, synthesis, analysis, and scale-up. Validate that the results are consistent with the proposed reaction scheme.
  • Value Added: Better reactor and reactive separations performance.
• Separation Process Synthesis
  • Objective: Generate the best separation alternative.
  • Value Added: Lower solvent recovery cost, Higher product purity and yield.
• Crystallization & Solids Process Optimization
  • Objective: Design, optimize, or troubleshoot the crystallization for product purity, recovery, or solids processing operation.
  • Value Added: Produce the right polymorph, Require fewer recrystallizations, Lose less raw material.
• Software: SLEEK, Solid-Liquid Equilibrium Engineering Kit
  • Objective: Software toolkit from CWB Tech for crystallization.
  • Value Added: Better understanding and better design of crystallization processes.
