Project description
Advanced technology mitigates clogging issues in flow chemistry
Flow chemistry holds significant promise for the fine chemical and pharmaceutical industries, enabling cheaper, greener and safer chemical and drug manufacturing processes. However, current continuous flow systems struggle with handling solids and viscous liquids, hindering their industrial adoption. Only 33 % of chemical processes can currently be conducted in these systems owing to solid particles that clog the process. Addressing this obstacle, France-based company Qfluidics has developed proprietary technology, a liquid tube that overcomes these limitations by efficiently handling solids without clogging. Funded by the European Innovation Council, the QFLUIDICS project aims to industrialise the company’s liquid tube flow reactors, offering modular solutions for research and large-scale industrial applications.
Objective
Flow chemistry represents a promising tool for the fine chemical and pharmaceutical industries to manufacture chemicals and drugs
in a cheaper, greener and safer way. However current continuous flow systems present technical limitations, especially regarding
handling solids and liquid viscous, which have hindered their adoption by the industry. Today, only 33% of the chemical processes can
be conducted in continuous flow systems due to solid particles that clog the process. At Qfluidics, we have developed a breakthrough
technology that overcomes the limitations of conventional flow systems. Our proprietary technology- the liquid tube, allows to handle
solids without clogging, paving the way toward a wide range of chemical processes and enables process intensification, making this
technology ideal for industrial scale. With the support of the EIC we will industrialize our liquid tube flow reactors, bringing to the market
modular solutions for research and industrial scale applications.
