Situated within five independent units, our production and pilot facilities contain both conventional multi-purpose batch reaction vessels and versatile continuous reactor systems, capable of handling a wide range of chemistries at kilo to multi-tonne scales.
Our novel Variable Residence Time (VRT) continuous reactor technology is a ‘tune-able’ reactor system that enables rapid optimization of chemical reactions and is readily adapted to perform multiple-stage continuous processes.
Bespoke units are designed and built to suit individual project requirements.

Process Research and Development
With a highly qualified team of chemists and modern, well-equipped facilities, we are able to offer a fast and efficient process development, optimization and scale-up service to our customers.
Whatever the process, the key to success is our multi-disciplinary approach: chemical, mechanical and instrumentation engineers work alongside synthetic and analytical chemists from the start of each project, working as one team.
The Analytical Development group, working closely with Process R&D, is concerned primarily with new method development for the analysis and characterisation of new process products and intermediates.
The Quality Control laboratory is responsible for the testing and analysis of raw materials, and production intermediates and final products. Further responsibilities include analytical support for cleaning and process validation studies.
