Chemtrix BV & Ajinomoto Bio-Pharma NV are proud to announce their collaboration on a commercial continuous manufacturing project! 

Faced with a request to scale-up a challenging multi-step process, initially to 10's kg & subsequently to multi-tonnes per week, Ajinomoto Bio-Pharma chose the Plantrix MR555 flow reactor to be at the heart of the multi-purpose continuous flow system.  Producing >500 MT of material in its first year of operation!  

To achieve this, Ajinomoto Bio-Pharma's Team of chemists & engineers developed a continuous flow process that increased process safety & reduced the number of unit operations, leading to;

• Doubling of annual throughput cf. dedicated batch unit
• Reduction in the overall carbon footprint by 30%
• Target price manufacturing

As Dr. Eric De Vos say's:

'We have been very eager to implement our continuous flow design & our Teams have gained significant knowledge around this platform which will facilitate changeovers & modifications for future Client programs.  Adopting continuous flow technology is instrumental to Ajinomoto Bio-Pharma's expansion strategy.'
