Continuous multi-injection reactor for multipurpose production - Part I

The paper presents an analysis of chemical production requirements in an exclusive synthesis market environment and describes how this analysis guided the development of a modular multi-injection reactor. Detailed engineering of a reactor in the light of the requirements of an organometallic reaction, as well as characterization of the reactor is reported. This reactor has provided the target chemistry result at Lonza Ltd. as detailed in a companion paper.
