High-Pressure & Hazardous Chemistry (up to 100 bar)
Our high-pressure and hazardous chemistry capabilities support the development and safe scale-up of complex reaction types that demand specialised equipment, rigorous safety protocols, and deep process engineering expertise.
- Hydrogenation, Ammonolysis, Carbonylation, Hydroxylation, Cyanation
- High-pressure chlorination and fluorination
- Photochemistry (chlorination, bromination)
- Grignard and transition metal-catalysed C-C coupling
- Azide chemistry (tetrazoles)
Vapour-Phase & Specialty Chemistries
Our vapour-phase capabilities extend across a wide range of high-temperature and high-complexity reactions, enabling the development of advanced fluorochemical systems that are not accessible through conventional liquid-phase chemistry.
Key capabilities:
- Vapour-phase: Fluorination, Chlorination, Oxidation, Hydrogenation, Telomerization
- Thermal cracking, Pyrolysis, Ammoxidation
- Organometallic chemistry (air-free, sensitive)
- Silicone, Epoxidation, Boron chemistry (borohydrides, borates, BF₃ complexes)
- Lithium-based battery chemistry
Flow Chemistry (Continuous Processing)
Flow chemistry extends our capability beyond batch processing, enabling tighter control, safer handling of hazardous reactions, and a seamless transition from laboratory to pilot scale. For reactions that benefit from precise residence time control or continuous operation at extreme conditions, our flow chemistry infrastructure offers a compelling alternative to conventional batch approaches.
- Microchannel and plug flow reactors (PFR)
- Photochemical flow reactions (continuous)
- High-temperature and high-pressure flow (up to ~100 bar)
- Hazardous chemistries in continuous mode: Fluorination, Azides, Grignard, Lithiation, Nitration, Catalytic hydrogenation
- Superior heat and mass transfer with tight residence time control (seconds to minutes)
- Seamless scale-up-to-continuous transition: Lab to Kilo to Pilot
