Debottlenecking
Increase Your Capacity with Continuous Manufacturing!
Problems with Batch Production 
Solutions with Continuous Production
| Pre-Product Preparation | |
| More tanks needed → high space demand | Install additional mobile mixing stations → space savings >90% |
| Not mobile | Mobile design mounted on a movable skid |
| Reaction | |
| Fixed installation with high space demand | Mobile installation with small space demand |
| Extensive process times due to large mass & heat transfer distances | Short process times due to enhanced mass & heat transfer |
| Potential safety issues due to high reactor volume | Increased safety due to reactor volume reduction |
| High manpower demand | Reduced manpower due to easy automation |
| Storage | |
| Batch release by sampling | Product release by online/inline analytics |
| High storage demand due to buffering of the batch | Low storage demand due to online/inline drumming |
| Quality fluctuations due to lower process capability | Stable quality due to continuous manufacture |
