The partnership between south Korean company LAMINAR and MEPI is moving on.
LAMINAR (taylor-reactor.com) is developing flow reactors involving Taylor Couette vortices.
These innovative equipments allow to deal with chemical reactions involving solid generation, which is difficult to handle in traditional static mixers, as they often yield to clogging issues.
In addition, beyond chemical reactions, these dynamic reactors are also excellent crystallization systems. With a proper parameters set up, they are able to precisely control the morphology, the particles sizes and the particles sizes distribution of the formed crystals.
Indeed, when clients targeted specifications are met, this renders possible the avoidance of the time consuming and costly downstream micronization step, often unavoidable after batch crystallizations.
Sizable CAPEX and OPEX savings are within reachable options, with crystallizations being 10 to 20 times shorter than in batch, in addition to this “2 in 1” strategy.
This technology is a serious valuable asset to our clients from the pharmaceutical, fine chemicals, cosmetics, batteries and more industries.
