Flow Chemistry
Dispersion and Emulsification of Agrochemical Formulations
Customer Requirement: An efficient, scalable and continuous flow process for the dispersion and emulsification of special agrochemical formulations.
Challenges:
-
Scalable process
-
Very large production volumes
-
Should work at high production throughput.
Process:
-
Different dispersion techniques were evaluated
-
Proof of Concept (PoC) was performed using the selected method
-
Optimization of the dispersants was performed
Solution: TecSolut build pilot plant for medium scale production of formulations. TecSolut, together with the customer, are in the process of scale-up development for full scale production.
Continuous Chemical Reaction in Ultra-High Shear Mixers (UHSMs)
