“Development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future
generations to meet their own needs.”World Commission on Environment and Development (1987)

12 Principles of Green Chemistry
• 1. Prevent waste rather than treat/clean it up later
• 2. Invoke atom economy
• 3. Design safer chemicals
• 4. Use & generate less toxic substances
• 5. Massively reduce quantities of solvents used
• 6. Design syntheses for energy efficiency
• 7. Renewable feedstock for large scale processes
• 8. Minimize steps in synthesis
• 9. Use of highly-selective catalytic reagents
• 10. Design materials that innocuously degrade
• 11. Real-time monitoring for pollution prevention
• 12. Minimise potential for accidents
P.T. Anastas and J.C. Warner, Green Chemistry: Theory and Practice, Oxford University Press: New York, 1998, p.30
8 out of 12 can be achieved through intensification of processes & flow chemistry.

12 Design Principles of Green Engineering
• 1. Prevention instead of treatment(of wastes)
• 2. Maximize Efficiency (of mass, energy, space & time)
• 3. Design separation & purification for ↓materials & energy
• 4. Inherent v/s circumstantial use of non-hazardous inputs
• 5. “Output-Pulled “ v/s “Input-Pushed” use of inputs
• 6. Keep-it-Simple ( complexity is an life-long cost attribute!)
• 7. Design GOAL targeted durability (not immortality)
• 8. Target the “need” (not unnecessary capacity/capability)
(“one-size-fits-all” solutions are a design flaw ! )
• 9. Minimize material diversity
(in multicomponent/multiproduct campaigns)
• 10. Integrate material & energy flows
• 11. Design for commercial “after-life”
• 12. Renewable rather than Depleting material & energy inputs
12 out of 12 can be achieved through intensification of processes & flow chemistry.

Path to Optimization
22-04-2014 10Copyright Pi-Process Intensification Experts LLP
www.pi-inc.co
An established technique for performing reactions under conditions where :
Mixing
Temperature
Pressure &
Reaction Time
are precisely controlled and safely done.
Variables : ● stoichiometry, ● concentration, ● residence-time,
● temperature and ● pressure are easily adjusted and reactions optimized quickly.
Scale-up : nearly linear and usually done by numbering-up

FLOW Reactors -Fast Track to Optimized ProcessesInspite of continuous processes being widespread in the chemical industry, the development of processes for Fine chemicals & APIs has historically been restricted to the centuries-old technique of iterative-batch-reactions.
Pressure to quickly discover & deliver compounds using scalable processes has compelled the synthetic chemists to harness Flow Chemistry techniques.
Commercial FLOW REACTORS are now an easily available & common enabling technology for performing synthesis in the laboratory & plant scale.
Cost benefits (↓size / ↑safety / ↑ energy efficiency / ↑ yield / ↑ purity) of flow reactors are so compelling, that the cost of the reactor is of subordinate interest.

FLOW ReactorsTECHNOLOGY PLATFORMS
Selection of apt reactor technology platform is most important for better cost benefit realization :-a) HEAT Transfer Area cost -- for Heat Transfer limited processb) Reactor Volume cost -- for Mass Transfer & slow, kinetically limited process

NITRATION
Drivers: Control reaction exotherm (runaway, explosive ) for process safetyHigh “mono- nitro” selectivity , high-productivity & GMP production
DSM selected ChemtriX v/s Corning. Reasons: very few and “secure” connections,
“non-leachable” & “diffusion-bonded” SiC (ChemtriX) v/s Glass or “brazed” SiC (Corning)

• Highly Exothermic– Batch synthesis delayed 2 months for
DSC information
• Batch scale-up problematic– Yield not reproducible– Increased formation of by-product led
to formation of a gum which was difficult to purify
– Batch synthesis required significantly more time than expected STRONG
EXOTHERM onset at 130 ºC (1373 J/g)

SUMMARIZINGProcess Intensified & Optimized Reaction & Operation Platforms
1. small footprint & low CAPEX ( a major advantage for sterile-processing & clean-room projects at a fraction of the CAPEX usually required)
2. v. small (and so low cost) Utility CAPEX -- due to v low peak-loads
3. v. high heat transfer area/volume ratios
4. discernable design-space -- QbD built-in
5. reproducible consistent quality & yields (impurity profile is more precise)
6. genuine feasibility for application of PAT (Process Analytical Tools)
7. highly flexible ( key equipments can be plug-&-produce )
8. v. high turn-down ratios ( 1000 : 1 times production capacities)
9. High intrinsic safety due to extremely low reaction volumes, low residence times and high degree of temp/pressure control.
10. easy Lab to Plant scalability
We now see equipments giving 10,000 MT/yr at 1 Litre reaction volume !
