Continuous Processing System Reaction, Crystallization, Filter Drying

Continuous Process Excellence

Smart manufacturing with innovative flow chemistry

In an effort to move away from conventional batch production and modernizing the global chemical processing industry,
continuous manufacturing (CM) is the common vision and desire with the potential to increase efficiency, quality and
flexibility in manufacturing.

Dec is one the very few companies able to offer end-to-end CM process solutions. From the incoming raw material handling to the API synthesis and processing of the compounded drug into the final dosage form including injectables and from bench to production scale.

Reactors & Crystallizers

Available in a range of sizes to suit your requirements from laboratory to production scale

Crystallizers

Ideal for cooling, evaporative and antisolvent crystallisations

Low shear mixing produces little particle attrition with good control over particle size distribution and morphology

Flexible modes of operation – batch, semi- or fully continuous

Reactors

Fully automated from single vessel batch or continuous stirred tank reactors to multi-vessel continuous or semi-continuous chained stirred tank reactors. Liquid/Liquid, Solid/Liquid and Gas/Liquid capabilities at pressures up to 25 bar and temperatures up to 200 °C. Improved residence time distribution compared to traditional stirred tanks.

Key Features

Unique chemistry facilitators for gas to liquid hydrogenency
Liquid liquid, gas liquid and solid liquid reactions and crystallisations acting as a catalyst for crystallisation
Highly efficient heat transfer and mixing capabilities
Excellent crystal size and morphology control

Equipment can be provided with temperature controlled transfer lines to avoid unwanted crystallisations or side reactions. Probe adapters available to suit most PAT
