PROS AND CONS OF CONTINUOUS FLOW VERSUS BATCH PROCESSING SYSTEMS

Written By: Damon Anderson, PhD

Jun 01, 2018


Continuous flow reactor systems continue to excel in chemical processing
applications as they can overcome traditional limitations of typical batch
reactors, such as high-pressure requirements, suboptimal yields, and excessive
material consumption. Batch reactor systems offer process versatility without
the need for breaking containment and include rather straightforward
scaleability options. 





Here we highlight a few of the pros and cons of each system — with an emphasis
on pharmaceutical manufacturing.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


PROCESS CHEMISTRY CONSIDERATIONS

Cost efficiency is the main driver for chemical process development. As such, a
pharmaceutical company considers each element of a drug synthesis route,
weighing factors such as material costs and volume-time output (VTO) heavily.
Material costs including raw materials, reagents, solvents, and all consumables,
are essential in the selection of one synthetic route over another.

Yield, or the amount of product obtained in a chemical reaction, is a key
consideration in process development. Although multiple strategies can be
employed for optimization, process reaction yield plays a critical role in
planning the correct route and fine-tuning reaction conditions. After a
synthesis route is decided upon, a course of exhaustive optimization is taken in
order to streamline each reaction step and maximize the product yield.

Volume-time output (VTO) is another important consideration associated with
reactor occupancy for a given process. A costly reaction in terms of VTO is one
in which reactor hours are excessive and/or the volume of reaction is
suboptimal. A high VTO can be a detriment to the entire process development
cycle — regardless of the material costs and yield.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


CONTINUOUS FLOW PROCESS DEVELOPMENT

Continuous flow processing technologies arose from technology advancements and
the inherent challenges and limitations of conventional batch reactors. With the
latter, parameters including time, temperature, order as well as type of
reactant are exhaustively scouted. If more product is needed, larger vessels are
employed inevitably leading to efficiency issues arising from process
optimization challenges and vessel/process scaling. Loss of efficiency
translates to limited yields, higher VTO, and higher costs.

Much progress has been made in the development and use of continuous flow
reactors, particularly for small-scale chemical synthesis. The technology is
gaining significant ground in pharmaceutical drug development, as the cost
benefits in many cases outweigh the practical challenges. Continuous flow
approaches may possess advantages over batch reactor processing in terms of
safety, quality control, and throughput — all factors that play into cost
efficiency of drug production.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


FEATURES AND BENEFITS OF CONTINUOUS FLOW REACTORS INCLUDE:

 * Reduction in the consumption of material.
 * The ability to rapidly screen reaction conditions.
 * The ability to design and optimize scalable reaction methodology.
 * The ability to directly compare reaction conditions with process efficiency.
 * Improved safety, product stability, and more efficient resource usage
   including space.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


BATCH REACTOR PROCESS DEVELOPMENT

A dominant attribute of batch reactor systems is versatility. A universal batch
system, which involves a relatively basic setup, allows for many different
operations to be conducted without the need for loss of containment or the need
for individual reactor (re)design. This is particularly valuable in processes
involving caustic or toxic reactants, or high potency products, in which
breakdown would entail significant time and resource losses.

The containment vessel of a batch reactor allows for exchange of different
agitation and heating or cooling mechanisms ideally suited for the reaction
process. The shape, speed, and baffle arrangement can be specified — as well as
use of alternative agitation techniques such as ultrasonic mixing. Heating and
cooling systems serve to control thermal properties associated with chemical
reactions, and as such, batch reactors can make use of a single external jacket,
half coil jacket, or constant flux jacket, according to the specified
requirements of the process.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


BEYOND VERSATILITY, BATCH REACTOR SYSTEMS ADVANTAGES INCLUDE:

 * Relatively basic design and relative ease of fabrication and modification.
 * Widespread usage in applications ranging from food and beverage, to
   pharmaceutical manufacturing, to small-scale research fermentation processes.
 * The ability to scale an optimized process with relative ease by increasing
   the size and/or number of reaction vessels.
 * The lack of a need for extensive reaction cell (re)design and fabrication
   iterations during method optimization.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

With those considerations in mind, the choice of continuous over batch systems
may come down to the particular reaction process(es) and the need for high
throughput production and reliability — continuous flow systems excelling in
both.

Batch reaction vessels may be advantageous for well-defined processes and may
save considerable upfront costs in reactor design and fabrication. Of course,
important considerations also include infrastructure, maintenance, staff, and
operations.
