The continuous flow process has significant advantages in the application of this project, such as precise feeding, temperature control, and optimized reaction residence time. It reduces the generation of side reaction products, reduces potential safety hazards, greatly reduces the area occupied by the device, and achieves continuous automated operation.
Yangnong Chemical's original pesticide intermediate production unit with an annual output of 7,000 tons occupies a large area, consumes a lot of energy, and has certain safety hazards. Compared with the original unit, the new system occupies only 23 square meters, which is nearly 90% less, and the continuous reaction time is shortened to one thousandth of the original. The amount of wastewater generated is also greatly reduced to 4.3% of the original.
Alkylation reaction, annual throughput 3000 tons
The existing microchannel reactors of two enterprises in the park were upgraded and renovated to solve the problems of idle microchannel reactors purchased by the enterprises or low automation and integration levels of the devices.
Continuous flow micro-reaction technology provides a new approach and method to solve the shortcomings and defects of traditional kettle synthesis. This technology can realize multi-step continuous flow automated synthesis and manufacturing from raw materials to API and even preparations through series or parallel reactors, without external intervention in the middle.
