Applications

Green Alternatives to Conventional Solvents

Our service can be applied to almost any solution phase process. Due to the nature of this bespoke service we encourage you to discuss your requirements with us.

Existing Processes
solventS has been of particular benefit where the use of conventional solvents has become problematic, for example due to safety or legislative issues and poor performance

New Processes
However, by integrating an optimal solvent into the early stage of process development significantly greater performance levels are achieved compared to off-the-shelf products.

Plant Integration
Key factors for integration and compatibility with plant infrastructure can be 'engineered' into the solvent. Such factors include inertness towards vessel walls and seals, compatibility with pumping pressures, mixers and filtration units.

Examples applications include:

• extraction of natural products
• waste recycling
• cleaning
• biocatalysis
