Continuous membrane based separation to improve batch extraction productivity

About this presentation

Traditional batch approaches to Liquid-Liquid Extractions (LLE) often lead to bottlenecks during scale up and production of a wide range of pharmaceuticals, fine & specialty chemicals.
When the LLE is performed in the reactor rather than elsewhere, are the production assets in the plant used at their full potential?

Membrane based continuous separation allows for the systematic development of mass transfer and separation for easy scaling of LLE. Importantly, this technology can be deployed equally well in both continuous and batch context delivering a number of advantages.

In this talk we will discuss how to leverage existing reactor assets, lower overall process risk, and reduce the time needed to carry out processes. In the talk we will show why we think hybrid processes are a natural way forward to transition from batch to flow.
