NiTech Solutions is a leading authority on continuous processing. We can provide chemical and pharmaceutical companies with a safer, greener, faster and cheaper manufacturing route, meeting today’s need for affordable and sustainable production.
Affordability is crucially important in the current economic climate. Surging energy and raw material costs are squeezing margins and impacting on profitability. Cost reduction is therefore becoming critical to maintain competitiveness.
Not forgetting climate change and the need to cut CO2 emissions. Countries – and companies – around the world continue to set increasingly ambitious net-zero targets, under pressure from consumers, NGOs, investors and legislators.
Now is the time to invest in technology that not only offers much lower capital expenditure and operating costs, but reduces energy consumption while at the same time enhancing output.
NiTech Solutions’ innovative and proprietary crystallizers and reactors can help companies develop a sustainable and competitive route to production in key areas that include chemicals, cannabidiol (CBD), pharmaceuticals, propellants, CO2 capture, polymers and food ingredients
Because of the units’ smaller scale – and the ability to install ancillary equipment in close proximity – companies can benefit from a reduction in energy consumption of more than 70%. This in turn leads to a substantially lower carbon footprint, and a 30% saving in operating costs. Capital expenditures too can be cut by 50%.
And there are other advantages too, including an increase in yield of over 10%, as well as more consistent product quality and a more controllable and repeatable process.
The technology also has unique capabilities in processes that require extended residence times or multi-phase systems, including solids or gases. The crystallizers/reactors can be tailored to meet varying requirements for temperature, pressure, anti-corrosive properties and multi-feeding arrangements.
Our units are portable and easily scalable and are available as either independent components or as complete manufacturing systems.
We have partner laboratories in the UK, France, Sweden and USA, where we work with several contract research organisations, allowing companies to conduct feasibility studies or proof of concept in order to assist in transferring processes from batch to continuous technology.
In the UK, we work with the Continuous Manufacturing & Advanced Crystallisation (CMAC) Future Manufacturing Research Hub and the Centre for Process Innovation (CPI), while in France our partners are La Maison Européenne des Procédés Innovants (MEPI) and SAS PIVERT. We also collaborate with the Research Institute of Sweden (RISE) and Israel’s Relex Process Consultancy. Our partners in the US are Purdue University and Nalas Engineering.
