PANEL SESSION:

From pilot production: Scaling modular, customised manufacturing

Barkwith Group: Agrochemicals regulation focus session

2026 will be the first time that CHEMUK has hosted a dedicated Agrichem feature panel

This case study outlines the full progression from early concept through commercial manufacturing. It begins with route design and synthesis-pathway assessment, including the integration of biotechnological steps when advantageous, while ensuring protection of stakeholder intellectual property.

After laboratory optimisation and pilot-scale verification, the process is taken to full industrial implementation. Learn how efficient, low-carbon and cost-optimised processes are created, alongside A unified, technology-enabled development strategy integrating chemical and biotechnological synthesis routes. Practical use of modern tools such as AI and additive manufacturing for sophisticated reactor designs. Standardised methods for accelerating development while meeting quality standards.
