In brief
From the original idea to the production of active ingredients, the different phases of a project include design of the process, its development, pilot studies and then, depending on the chosen industrialization strategy:
- Contract manufacturing;
- Construction of proprietary facilities;
- Technology licensing.
Our edge
Processium has developed a unique project execution methodology in order to perform process design and development. To carry out your projects, Processium relies on:
- Its staff, made up of experts, process engineers and specialized technicians. Processium’s know-how in chemical engineering is recognized throughout the industry.
- Its laboratories, to acquire the physicochemical data and experimentally validate the process.
- Its digital tools, which help both to minimize the cost and duration of studies by streamlining the experimental phase, and to design the future industrial unit.
Our clients capitalize on the expertise we have acquired through the wide range of processes we have studied and projects we have completed since 2002.
