Flow Technology Expo at Pfizer, Groton, CT, USA
Microinnova is invited to present its products and to give a lecture ("Development and Manufacturing Solutions for Flow Chemistry by using Process Intensification Tools") at PFIZER's Flow Technology Expo.
private company event, not open to the public!
Microinnova presents a new product: The Flow mini-plant
Enormous time and cost savings by significant shortening of the pilot phaseThe MICROINNOVA flow mini-plants are either as modular multipurpose plant or as single modules (e.g. feed module) available. Typical flow rates for the flow mini-plants start from an operating range of 0,5-5 l/h to a range of 10-100 l/h. MICROINNOVA is independent from equipment manufacturers and uses for each term of reference the best installation parts (e.g. reactors). The designs are possible in stainless steel, Hastelloy and in metal-free versions (Teflon, ceramic, glass).

Project COPIRIDE: |
 |
COPIRIDE stands for Combining Process Intensification-driven Manufacture of Microstructured Reactors and Process Design regarding to Industrial Dimensions and Environment. Within the European research project COPIRIDE, Microinnova Engineering cooperates with partners, such as Evonik-Degussa and the Institute for Micro-Technology Mainz, to develop the chemical plant of the future and its infrastructure.
COPIRIDE takes the approach of developing a multifunctional and all-purpose plant platform. Multiple plants and reactors are integrated in compact format e.g. a container to be applicable for different processes with a very high flexibility. The project members expect a maximization of productivity by minimizing the setup time, improved sustainability, lower capital costs, higher process security and energy efficiency as well as a direct economical benefit within the range of approximately 10 to 30 million Euros per year.

Microinnova launched the most powerful pharamceutical plant of its kind
© Copyright Microinnova
The continuous flow has been introduced to the production of pharmaceutical agents and fine chemicals. And it is becoming a serious competition for batch technology in sophisticated processes. The engineers at Microinnova have already shown that they belong to the world's best in realisation of micro-reactor concepts at full production scale. In the field of fine chemicals, a microreactor with a throughput of 3 tons per hour was realised several years ago.
In May 2010, these engineers put into operation a pharamceutical plant with a throughput of 200 l/h - the most powerful of its kind in Europe that is based on the micro-reactor technology.
