R&D Facilities

SEQENS has longstanding experience in custom chemical development and custom manufacturing of chemicals for various industries (fine chemicals, lubricants, agrochemicals, Flavor & Fragrance, Personal Care).

We offer our expertise, industrial know-how and flexible facilities to expand your production capabilities, whether occasional or long-term. Acting as a contract research organization chemistry in Europe, SEQENS teams closely collaborate with customers to address their needs and support lab to plant chemistry scale-up, ensuring efficient and reliable project execution.“

Partie process safety de la page R&D facilities : ajouter ce paragraphe avant les bullets points « Process safety is at the core of our chemical R&D services, ensuring secure and reliable development at every stage. We implement advanced process safety & calorimetry tools to assess risks and ensure safe scale-up of chemical reactions, especially for complex and sensitive processes.

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.
