Reduced Costs

• Higher yields & increased product quality
  • Less loss through cleaning down time and changeover
  • Greater control over reactions ( reduced waste)
  • Reduced bi-products and out of spec products
• Reduced utility costs
• Lower capital costs than traditional processes
• Greater plant up-time

Reduced Footprint

The NiTech^® COBR^TM and TBR^TM allows increased manufacturing output within existing sites, eliminating the need for additional structural and building work due to the greatly reduced footprint (up to 95% reduction).The replacement cost of a traditional stir tank reactor with a NiTech reactor is greatly reduced (up to 50% reduction in capex).

Increasing Throughput

Massive step changes in manufacturing output can be achieved due to the modular nature and reduced size of the NiTech^® reactor. Simply placing two identical reactors side by side will immediately double manufacturing capacity and still leave additional space for further development.

New Product Development

• New product introductions are more easily achieved as reduced reaction times will free up the reactor for additional throughput and development work.
• New products that have been hard to achieve through existing production methods are now commercially available.
• Higher margins can be achieved by developing unique, customer-specific products which add value.

Greater Customer Responsiveness

• Increased flexibility and ease of small batch manufacture in a cost effective way to allow greater ability to customise products for different customers.
• Achieve changes in product run schedules at short notice to allow increased response to market demands.

Safety

NiTech's continuous processes are intrinsically safer than traditional batch processes

• Smaller inventories of reactants leading to safer storage conditions
• Smaller reactor volumes allowing safer processing
• Increased control of reaction temperatures facilitates safer operation
