Pharmaceutical

Separation and purification in organic solvents are vital procedures in pharmaceutical manufacturing. However, they still heavily depend on traditional methods. For instance, the purification of Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (APIs) involves distillation and chromatography. Distillation is a process that involves boiling the solvent in order to isolate the pure compound. Chromatography separates compounds based on their varying affinities for a stationary phase or a mobile phase. These processes are extremely resource and energy-intensive, requiring significant heat, phase change energy, cooling, condensation, and substantial solvents. Our membrane technology applies a pressure-driven technique to preserve resources, enhance performance, and eliminate heat!

 

Our GreenMem® leads the way in Organic Solvent Nanofiltration (OSN) at the industrial scale! With pores smaller than 1 nanometer, our membrane technology allows filtration at the molecular level.

Powered by GreenMem®, our RE(SOLV)® Solvent Recovery System applies a pressure-driven, heatless procedure to preserve resources by recovering solvents. Here, solvents used in industrial applications undergo waste treatment whereby the recovered solvents are reused and resold.
