The concept behind the utilization of flow is to achieve extreme process intensification. The intensification process enables inherently safer conditions that lead to the development of new processes, the so-called �Flash Chemistry�. A microreactor will be at the heart of flow processes to control the �Flash Reaction� but will be implemented in parallel with other flow unit operations such as liquid-liquid extraction, distillation and crystallization. The outcome will lead to highly intensified mini-plant approaches that will be the basis of the �Factory of the Future.� The ultimate results of the initiative are more sustainable, greener, and economical processes for producing a wide range of pharmaceuticals.
