Our production facilities provide a seamless extension of our pilot-plant capabilities. The 2 production areas contain 19 glass-lined reactors, ranging in size from 350 L capacity through to 4500 L capacity.

The open architecture allows stand-alone reactors to be reconfigurable for varying duty.

A broad range of difficult materials can be safely handled (e.g. bromine, thionyl chloride, hydrogen, hydrogen bromide, tri-n-butyltinhydride)

Technologies include high-temperature fractional distillation; large-scale wiped-film distillation; asymmetric hydrogenation (up to 1350L scale @ 4 atmos); ‘Class A’ VOC abatement.

Solids isolation is carried-out in fully contained filter-dryer systems (up to 500 kg batch capacity). 

Examples of products manufactured at large scale are :

• Advanced pharmaceutical intermediates
• Amino acids
• N-Protected (e.g. Boc, Fmoc, CBz)
• Various derivatives
• D & L Phenylalanines
• Very high purity liquid products requiring fractional distillation
