Flexible, Modular Solutions
for Modern Chemical Manufacturing

At Microinnova, we specialize in designing and constructing modular flow plants and turnkey skid plants designed for flexibility, efficiency, and rapid deployment. Our modular systems feature plug-and-play functionality, enabling you to quickly adapt your production processes to meet dynamic market demands. These configurable skids streamline chemical production by allowing the rearrangement and expansion of modules, offering unparalleled versatility and efficiency.

Our modular flow plants are engineered to provide maximum flexibility in chemical production. Unlike traditional plants, these systems are built with reconfigurable modules that can be rearranged or expanded to suit different chemical production routes. This adaptability ensures that your plant evolves alongside your business needs, providing endless possibilities for innovation and efficiency.

Time is a crucial factor in today’s competitive market. Our turnkey skid plants are designed to reduce time-to-market by offering rapid deployment and easy integration into your existing operations. By bypassing the lengthy construction timelines associated with traditional facilities, our modular solutions enable you to start production quickly, keeping you ahead of the competition.

Modular automation based on MTP enables a high degree of flexibility for multipurpose applications. It facilitates seamless connectivity across various automation systems and vendors, ensuring greater interoperability and efficiency.

I Engineering, Procurement & Construction (EPC)

At Microinnova, we design and build skid-mounted plants using a modular approach. These systems consist of interconnected modules that can be combined based on specific process requirements. This flexibility allows us to achieve high performance while reducing investment costs and speeding up project timelines.
Each module can be customized to meet technical specifications or budget constraints. For cGMP manufacturing, we support clients with Design Qualification (DQ) and assign a dedicated project engineer to oversee the entire process. From development to installation, we ensure clear communication and seamless execution, delivering projects on time and to full customer satisfaction.

II Start-up, Qualification Support & Aftersales

We support our clients throughout the entire lifecycle of their plant, including installation and commissioning. Before delivery, we perform a thorough Factory Acceptance Test (FAT) to ensure everything functions perfectly. Once the plant is installed at your site, we complete the Site Acceptance Test (SAT) to confirm readiness for operation. For cGMP-compliant manufacturing, we also handle Installation Qualification (IQ), Operational Qualification (OQ), and Process Qualification (PQ). This ensures that your plant meets all quality and regulatory standards, providing you with confidence in its reliability and performance.

III Modular Automation & Design

Our modular plant design approach offers maximum flexibility and adaptability. We integrate state-of-the-art equipment and tailor modules to handle tasks like chemical reactions, formulation, and downstream processing. This modularity allows existing plants to be easily modified or expanded without major disruptions. As independent system integrators, we can select components from various suppliers to meet your technical and budgetary needs. This flexibility ensures your plant stays up-to-date and can quickly adapt to changing production demands.

IV Module Type Package Protocol (MTP)

The Module Type Package (MTP) Protocol simplifies automation in modular manufacturing. MTP allows for quick setup and reconfiguration of automation processes, reducing downtime and speeding up production. By standardizing communication between modules, MTP makes it easy to integrate equipment from different suppliers seamlessly. This protocol also supports quick adjustments to changing production needs without significant disruption. MTP enhances efficiency, flexibility, and cost-effectiveness, helping you maintain agility in a fast-paced market. At Microinnova, we support your transition to efficient, modular processing with MTP.

V Process Analytical Technology (PAT)

Process Analytical Technology (PAT) provides tools for monitoring and controlling production processes to ensure product quality. By measuring key Critical Process Parameters (CPP), PAT helps maintain Critical Quality Attributes (CQA), ensuring consistent quality in every batch.

PAT can optimize production efficiency by using advanced control strategies like Model Predictive Control (MPC) and simulations such as Digital Twins (DT). These tools help you analyze, predict, and improve processes in real time, reducing errors and enhancing productivity.

Modular Flow Plant Systems for a Short Time-to-Market

Flexible Small-Scale Synthesis of APIs, Intermediates, and Chemicals

Modular flexibility enables a quick transfer of flow processes into manufacturing. Different modules are orchestrated, typically in a fume hood environment and connected by a universal protocol (MTP) to minimize time-to-market for chemical processing.

FlowKiloLab® – GMP-Compliant Precision in Flow Chemistry

Optimizing Small-Scale Continuous Manufacturing

In a recent application, FlowKiloLab® was implemented to optimize the production of a pharmaceutical intermediate requiring high precision and strict GMP compliance. The process demanded accurate dosing of both liquid and gas reactants, precise temperature control, and robust pressure management to ensure consistent product quality.

FlowTonPlant

Plug-and-Produce Made Simple

Quick and flexible scale-up delivered by FlowTonPlant. By using the same unit operations as FlowKiloLab®, scale-up effort is minimized. Compose your process plant with prequalified plant modules using our FlowTonPlant.

Dedicated/Bespoke Flow Plant System for Safety and Performance

Superior Processing with Flow Technology

Continuous processing offers the possibility of responding to specific process needs with the specifically corresponding technology. Safety-relevant processes can benefit especially from increased mass and heat transfer, as well as from small reactor volumes, resulting in high space-time yields. Flow processing enables novel process windows and a reduced workup effort due to uniform process conditions.

Engineering and Construction of SynFuel Plant Systems

Pilot Plant and Manufacturing Biofuel Plants

Synfuels for aviation, as well as for vehicles, will be an important step toward CO₂ reduction. Bio-based educt materials like cellulose, fats & oils, sugars or forest/agriculture waste fatty acids are typical primary sources. A wide range of processes can be used. Alcohol-to-jet, transesterification or Fischer-Tropsch, to name just a few of them. They are used for manufacturing ethers, esters, paraffinic gasoline, or kerosine.
