Abstract

AbstractModular continuous production concepts are already successfully applied in research, development, and piloting of a series of chemical compounds in the markets of fine chemistry and pharmaceutical products. Besides, first case studies for the application of those concepts in industrial scale are reported. Current European research projects focus to proof their applicability in a broader range. The elaborated know‐how will be commercially used in a franchise between BTS, INVITE, Ehrfeld Mikrotechik BTS, and further partners in the product Flonamic®. One core element of these production concepts are micro‐ and milli‐structured devices assisting continuous‐flow processes due to their superior transport characteristics and small holdup. In small‐scale production concepts, these special devices have to be considered together with conventional technology. The platform concept developed by TU Dortmund University for chemical manufacturing simplifies the scale‐up process from lab to container scale and beyond on different levels in flow rate, temperature, or other process conditions.
