R&D Facilities

SEQENS has longstanding experience in up-scaling and custom manufacturing of chemicals for various industries (fine chemicals, lubricants, agrochemicals, F&F, Personal Care.
We offer our expertise, industrial know-how and flexible facilities to expand your production capabilities, should it be occasional or on the longer term.

SEQENS teams closely collaborate with customers to address their needs and requirements, and to help tackling the challenges they face accross the development phases.

Scientists and state-of-the-art lab equipment located in our R&D centers allow us to support customer innovation within contract research projects.

• Highly experienced scientists
• Several high efficiency distillation columns in a purpose-built extracted Distillation Room
• Buchi pressure reactor, suitable for reactions including hydrogenations and methyl chloride chemistry
• Simulation, using Chemcad to evaluate the scale up of these processes from batch to continuous operation
• Our scientists work closely with Process Development Engineers and Operations to efficiently and safely implement new processes on our plants. We have an excellent track record in scaling up R&D processes to the main plant units

• DSC/TGA for rapid assessment of reaction chemistry hazards and thermochemistry
• Reaction calorimeters (RC1, Algochem automated reactor)
• Adiabatic calorimeter (Phi-TEC)

SEQENS R&D and process development teams provide support and expertise from lab to commercial scale operations (including production of validation quantities under strict conditions), relying on our versatile pilot unit with dedicated lab and scale-up workshop.
