Continuous Manufacturing and Crystallisation (CMAC) Centre of Excellence
NiTech’s technology was the inspiration for the new EPSRC-funded Centre for Innovative Manufacturing in Continuous Manufacturing and Crystallisation (CMAC). This is being led by the University of Strathclyde in Glasgow, Scotland, together with the Universities of Bath, Cambridge, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Heriot-Watt and Loughborough.
Industry Support
Provided by industry partners that include GlaxoSmithKline, AstraZeneca, Novartis, Fujifilm, Croda International plc, Genzyme Ltd and others.
NiTech technology supports CMAC to:
- Enable change from batch to fully continuous manufacturing processes for high value chemical products.
- Produce better chemical and pharmaceutical products, at lower cost and more sustainably through transformational change in how particles are manufactured.
- Increase manufacturing competitiveness via reducing costs and enabling the creation of higher value products.
Purdue University is a public research university located in West Lafayette, Indiana, USA. Purdue’s Davidson School of Chemical Engineering is researching process systems, engineering approaches and tools for product design and optimal operation in the pharmaceutical, fine chemical, biotechnology, food and agrochemical industries. The university is aiming to develop theoretically founded, practical methodologies for complex processes with quantifiable performance improvements that can be supported in an industrial environment. Purdue is currently using a NiTech unit in its research.
