MEPI is aiming at several complimentary objectives:
- Demonstration, optimization & implementation of innovative processes to promote their adoption by the chemical industry.
- Supporting the growth of Green Process Engineering, a key factor to the recovery of local productions and national independence for strategic sectors like pharmaceuticals or battery chemicals.
- Design the factory of the future, answering compulsory economic and social compliance expectations.
Innovative Processes developed by MEPI are highly recommended for :
- Selectivity and yields improvements (ex. multistep chemical synthesis with unstable intermediates…),
- Handling highly exothermic reactions in safe conditions, reaction volumes being up to 50 000 times smaller at equal productivity.
- Reaction parameters optimizing (ex. temperature range for cryogenic synthesis),
- Reduction of reagent excess, concentration of synthesis media,
- Avoiding solvent uses and short cutting distillation steps,
- Regulatory controlled environments (Pharmaceutical, cosmetic products…)
- Costs killing, and process competitiveness improvement, …
