Chemical Process Development & Manufacturability Assessment
Chemlyst evaluates whether a chemical route can be transferred to an appropriate manufacturing facility — covering route, characterization, feasibility and optimisation within an agreed scope.
Chemlyst provides assessment and coordination within an agreed project scope. Formal studies, calculations and deliverables depend on available process data and the responsibilities defined with the customer and proposed manufacturing facility. Execution remains with qualified partner facilities unless otherwise agreed.
A. Process Route Assessment
- Reaction sequence and intermediate formation.
- Reagent and catalyst requirements.
- Reaction selectivity and conversion.
- Potential side reactions.
- Impurity formation and removal.
- Raw-material availability and quality.
B. Process Characterization
- Critical reaction parameters.
- Temperature and pressure requirements.
- Reaction completion criteria.
- Work-up and isolation requirements.
- Product stability.
- Material balance and theoretical yield.
C. Manufacturing Feasibility
- Availability of compatible reactor systems.
- Solvent and reagent handling.
- Reaction and separation compatibility.
- Waste generation.
- Expected batch-cycle requirements.
- Scale-up constraints.
D. Process Optimization
- Yield improvement opportunities.
- Solvent and reagent consumption.
- Cycle-time reduction.
- Reduction of unnecessary unit operations.
- Process robustness.
Technical deliverables (scope-dependent)
- •Process feasibility assessment.
- •Preliminary material balance.
- •Process flow diagram (PFD).
- •Preliminary process risk register.
- •Process optimization recommendations.
- •Manufacturing feasibility report.
Deliverables such as PFDs and risk registers are prepared only when included in the project scope and supported by available data.
