NiTech Solutions’s simple, yet highly innovative, continuous flow technology meets today’s need for safer, greener, faster and cheaper manufacturing processes.
Portable and scalable units are available as either independent components or as complete manufacturing systems
NiTech Solutions works with clients (directly and through its partners) to explore how the novel technology can improve their own processes
NiTech Solutions can tailor the crystallisers/reactors to meet a range of requirements for temperature, pressure, anti-corrosive properties and multi-feeding arrangements
The technology is easily scalable to commercial production. NiTech Solutions can license the technology on either an exclusive or non-exclusive basis
NiTech Solutions also offers continuous filtration and drying technologies, where appropriate, through its engineering partner, HCS in Glenrothes, Scotland, UK.

Value Proposition

NiTech Solutions provides end-to-end reaction and crystallisation solutions:

Reactor systems
We can deliver commercial continuous flow reaction and crystallisation technology at laboratory, pilot plant and manufacturing scale.
Continuous chemistry
We can conduct feasibility studies for customers at our partner laboratories in UK, France, Sweden and USA in order to assist with the transfer of processes from batch to continuous.

NiTech Solutions Mobile Continuous Production Platform – the DN Ultra

DN Ultra Unit

NiTech Solutions’s mobile continuous production platform (MCPP) – the DN Ultra – is a complete manufacturing system developed and manufactured in association with Alconbury Weston. The platform includes a fully integrated reaction, crystallisation, filtration and drying system that can be easily scaled up to produce higher volumes by increasing the number of units used.

NiTech Solutions is a leading authority and expert on continuous processing. Its unique patented reactors and crystallisers are transforming the manufacture of chemicals, pharmaceuticals, food and drink, and biotechnology.
