Developing Flow Solutions to Enhance Process Sustainability

This session is sponsored by Flow subteam of the ACS Green Chemistry Pharmaceutical Roundtable. Despite the exponential growth in research in continuous manufacturing techniques, the production of specialty chemicals and specifically pharmaceuticals remain largely dependent on batch processes. However, sustainability and logistical considerations suggests that this trend is slowly changing, though several technical hurdles still exist in transitioning to a continuous process. This session on Developing Flow Solutions to Enhance Process Sustainability provides an opportunity to see several of the field s current leading practitioners from both academia and industry presenting their research with a focus on providing solutions to reduce process PMI and minimize waste generation.
