Scale Up Programme | Case Studies

Project Overview

OLG’s confidential client had a novel, Inorganic product that needed to be scaled up. A number of technology options needed to be reviewed alongside a range of potential production scales. A key requirement for the project was to meet a number of significant process safety constraints.

Pilot scale work had been undertaken which indicated alternative reaction chemistry was required to contain an exotherm. This presented a key challenge to the design of the increased scale unit operations.

Project Review

OLG modelled the new process before undertaking the design. We worked on a collaborative basis with our client’s technical team to ensure that all available data was fully reviewed and applied to support the modelling work.

Our Solution

OLG was able to identify a secure basis of design for increased scale of production through a rigorous gap analysis on critical process parameters and critical quality attributes.
