Process Technology
ABCR Labs' real options based manufacturing platform specializes in chemical processes with low reactor space yields.
The real options approach to production scheduling and reactor train selection maximizes equipment utilization resulting in a seamless transition from grams to tons.
R&D Laboratory
Where the process starts
At ABCR Labs you can rely not only on the quality of our products and services, but also on our motivated professional team.
Our open innovation approach for ongoing process improvement creates an ideal environment for the exchange of ideas and knowhow with out customers. We want you to know exactly how and where we do it - at every stage of the product development life cycle. We start building lasting relationships by first establishing a mutual non disclosure agreement followed by an onsite visit. Convince yourself that we can meet your expectations!
R&D Laboratory
Kilo Laboratory
Where we prepare qualification samples: In our modern kilo laboratory, with seven extraction hoods and two distillation benches, we carryout the production of non-scalable processes, validate reproducibility of chemical processes and prepare qualifications samples for new products from 1 kg to 15 kg.
Pilot Plant
Where processes are scaled up: For process scale-up and qualification – our pilot plant is the link between the laboratory and commercial scale production. It is equipped with six processing suites.
Process Capabilities
- Two reactor suites equipped with two 160-liter and two 400-liter reactors
- Automated Pfaudler PharmaGlass® lined reactors
- Suitable for azeotropic, flash and fractional distillation
- Operating pressure range from full vacuum up to 10 bar
- Operating temperature range from -20°C to 220°C
- Continuous high temperature (650°C) cracking unit
- Continuous plug flow reactor
- Continuous esterification reactor
- Single stage and a two stage Wiped Film Evaporators for the purification of heat sensitive materials and low volatile products
- Two suites for in-house projects and future expansion
