Imagine trying to push a thick smoothie through a thin straw; it often gets stuck and blocks the flow. This technology replaces the solid straw walls with a special liquid layer that lets particles slide through without sticking. It allows chemical factories to run their production like a continuous assembly line instead of making one batch at a time.
Current continuous flow systems clog when handling solids or viscous liquids, limiting their use to only 33% of chemical processes. This forces companies to rely on inefficient, less safe, and larger-footprint batch processing.
A proprietary continuous flow reactor featuring liquid walls (liquid-tube technology) that prevents clogging and friction while handling solids.
If you are an API manufacturer dealing with clogging in continuous flow systems—this project developed liquid-tube technology that handles solids without clogging. This allows you to shift from batch to continuous processes for organometallic chemistry, reducing production costs and industrial footprint.
If you are a specialty chemical producer dealing with safety and quality concerns in batch processing—this project developed a non-clogging flow reactor that increases efficiency and yields. It enables the use of processes that were previously impossible in flow due to solid particles.
If you are a consultant dealing with the limitation that only 33% of chemical processes can be conducted in continuous flow—this project developed a proprietary liquid wall reactor. This tool enables the industrial scale-up of previously impossible chemical reactions.
Based on available project data, the shift from batch to continuous processes using this technology leads to reduced production costs and a smaller environmental footprint.
Yes, the project aims to industrialize the liquid tube flow reactors and provide modular solutions for both research and industrial scale applications.
The technology is proprietary and a Freedom to Operate (FTO) analysis confirmed there are no competitive patents in the landscape, making its positioning disruptive.
The project is focusing on organometallic chemistry, specifically processes that were previously impossible in continuous flow due to clogging.
The project period runs from 2024-03-01 to 2026-12-31, during which the company is industrializing the reactors for market release.
The project is led by a single French SME, QFLUIDICS, which holds 100% of the industry ratio. This lean structure suggests a fast-track commercialization approach where the company maintains full control over the proprietary IP and industrialization process.
