Overview of Micropacked Bed Technology
Micropacked bed technology involves the use of microscale reactors packed with catalyst particles to facilitate chemical reactions. These microreactors provide an increased surface area-to-volume ratio, leading to enhanced heat and mass transfer rates. By precisely controlling reaction conditions within these microenvironments, we achieve higher reaction efficiencies, selectivity, and product yields compared to traditional reactor systems.
Our Services
We provide a comprehensive suite of services centered around micropacked bed technology to meet your pharmaceuticalprocessing needs.
Process Development and Optimization
Our micropacked bed technology revolutionizes API synthesis by enabling superior gas-liquid-solid interactions through structured catalyst beds. We optimize reaction kinetics and mass transfer efficiency using high-performance catalysts immobilized within the bed, ensuring minimal metal leaching and enhanced selectivity. Our proprietary reactor designs leverage computational fluid dynamics (CFD) to tailor flow distribution and residence time, reducing side reactions and improving yield consistency. For hydrogenation, nitration, or deprotection reactions, we implement real-time monitoring via inline FTIR and HPLC to dynamically adjust parameters like pressure and temperature gradients.
Pilot-Scale Testing and Validation
We deliver seamless scale-up solutions using modular micropacked bed systems that replicate lab-scale performance at pilot volumes. Our validation protocols include rigorous catalyst stability testing and heat management strategies to mitigate thermal runaway risks during exothermic reactions. We employ advanced flow control systems to maintain uniform fluid dynamics across scales, ensuring consistent product quality and minimizing batch-to-batch variability.
