ChiroBlock is investing 1 million euros in a second kilo laboratory location
After ChiroBlock took the first step from the laboratory scale to the kiloscale in 2019, we are now taking another step towards expanding our kilolaboratory capacities. To expand and supplement the existing laboratory facilities with 60l and 100l reactors, ChiroBlock is now investing around EUR 1 million in additional synthesis facilities. The core of the new technical center is a 630l reactor at the 6bar level. A pressure filter (heatable) and a corresponding drying unit complete the solids handling. The external storage has a capacity of 10m³ of solvent and an internal active storage of another 5m³. The new technical center also offers 300m² of space for expansion and the ventilation system is designed with a sufficient capacity buffer. The consciously chosen locational separation from the existing systems as part of risk management ensures the ability to work for our customers even in the worst case scenario. The planned commissioning is at the end of 2024.
