Summary on Grant Application Form
The project, lead by Syrris, in collaboration with GSK, AMRI UK and the EPSRC Centre for Innovative Manufacturing in

Continuous Manufacturing and Crystallisation will develop an innovative modular system for continuous chemical

processing. It will develop modules that can be used by any chemical industry to perform unit operations such as liquidliquid,

liquid-solid and liquid-solid-gas phase reactions, crystallisations and aqueous work-up in a continuous process, with

analysis. The modules will be scalable, easy to use, automatable and able to be quickly reconfigured into hundreds of

conceivable single or multi step process systems. Within the project lifetime, this will enable GSK and AMRI to operate

more efficient, high quality and sustainable processes with easier scale-up. After the project, commercialisation of these

modules will enable the wider chemical process industry to benefit from the same advantages and generate significant

exports for the UK.
