Solchemia

Process Chemistry

Optimized development from laboratory discovery to industrial scale

Process Chemistry plays a key role in translating synthetic methods into practical solutions for large-scale production. At Solchemia, we work hand-in-hand with chemical and pharmaceutical companies to design, optimize, and scale-up chemical processes with a focus on safety, environmental impact, and economic efficiency.

Our expertise covers the full development cycle — from early discovery to pilot plant — ensuring a seamless transition with minimized risk and maximized productivity. Whether it’s improving selectivity, solving production bottlenecks, or introducing green technologies, our team delivers tailored solutions to support your manufacturing goals.

OUR SERVICES INCLUDE:

  • Discovery, development, and optimization of synthetic routes (see Route Scouting).
  • Optimization of operating parameters (temperature, pressure, catalysts, etc.) to maximize selectivity, yield, and purity.
  • Consideration of raw material availability, regulatory compliance (GMP, ISO), environmental impact and safety profiles.
  • Development and scale-up of chemical processes, from lab to pilot plant (10–50 grams).
  • Detailed analysis of feasibility, yield, cost-efficiency, and environmental impact.
  • Troubleshooting of existing processes (identification of critical and stress points), increasing their robustness and reducing costs.

We work across various sectors — pharma, agrochemicals, and fine chemicals — optimizing both existing processes and developing new “ones from scratch for Intellectual Property (IP) purposes.

Yes. We prioritize sustainability by integrating green chemistry techniques into our process development strategies, reducing environmental impact while maintaining high performance.

Absolutely. Our facilities are fully equipped for multi-gram scale production (10–50 g), enabling the manufacture of larger batches ahead of pilot plant scale-up

Yes. We diagnose inefficiencies, resolve bottlenecks, and improve the robustness and cost-effectiveness of current production lines.
