Company News |XFLOW, Driver for Continuous Flow Chemistry and Green Chemistry Technology

Oct.20.2022

Flow chemistry is referred to as the process of running a chemical reaction in a continuous stream, usually in tubes or channels, which is also known as continuous flow or plug flow chemistry. Flow chemistry differs from conventional batch chemistry by having a chemical reaction in a continuous flow system. Continuous processing has been widely used in a variety of industries, such as petrochemical, chemical and pharmaceutical sectors. After its introduction to the pharmaceutical industry in the early 2000s, continuous flow manufacturing has grown in popularity and seen widespread application in multi-step organic synthesis of APIs, intermediates and other drug substances.

As a reliable provider of chemical custom research, development and production services, LinkChem is committed to enhancing the flow chemistry platform. The subsidary, Shanghai XFlow Chemical Technology specializes in the application of new catalysts and the development of flow chemistry technology. The company provides customers with continuous flow process design, process optimization, laboratory testing, feasibility studies, equipment improvement, process development and fully integrated solutions.

One of the greatest advantages of flow chemistry is improved process safety. Continuous flow reactors improve mass and heat transfer and result in rapid reaction mixing, which can be beneficial for hazardous reactions. XFlow works with different reaction types, including nitration reaction, sulfonation reaction, chlorination reaction, amination reaction, high-temperature and high-pressure reaction, metal reagent reaction, diazotization reaction, oxidation reaction, esterification reaction, azide reaction and gas-liquid reaction.

XFlow focuses on the development of multi-step continuous processes for chemical products in order to enable the upgrading and transformation of the traditional batch operations to continuous flow technology.
