Production Scale Separators & Extraction Platforms

Overview & Details

Liquid Liquid continuous extraction platforms for reaction workup. Improve phase separation quality and extraction efficiency

Features

Batch reactors are commonly underutilized by companies that rely on them as both reaction and extraction vessels. They are the most valuable asset in a plant, capable of producing APIs, intermediates, and other products and yet we often don’t use them to their full capacity so that we can squeeze a workup or quench into the same vessel. This underutilization is compounded across the number of reactors in a plant, leading to tens of millions of sunk cost not generating the best potential returns. Operators and plant managers waste thousands of hours every year optimizing mixing and settling conditions, waiting for mixing to occur, waiting for emulsions to settle & watching phase interfaces while a reactor drains. All of this is wasted time that can be better utilized both in terms of people and assets. Zaiput improves plant productivity by taking the workup out of the reactor. Instead, the workup is carried out in-line by pumping directly out of solvent storage and teeing into the product before static mixing elements. Right away, this allows plant operators to double the capacity of their reactors while taking less time to carry out their extraction. The static mixers are specifically designed to give full mass transfer while the high throughput membrane separator simplifies phase separation. Brought together you get a fast, efficient extraction in less time. Importantly for CDMOs, this will allow companies to bring in more projects and larger projects than their current capacity allows, which will directly translate to the bottom line. The technology is applicable across a wide range of solvent systems and can be easily implemented, with minor adjustments, from process to process. Zaiput helps engineers and plant managers hit their continuous improvement and efficiency goals across a broad range of key parameters. From increasing product output to bringing in more projects and reducing loss from difficult separations, Zaiput helps you accomplish ambitious plant improvements.
