  1. Applications of API Process Simulation Pharmaceutical API Process Development and Design

  2. Module Structure • Solvent replacement • Compare feed strategies

  3. Solvent replacement Typical example • Reaction carried out in solvent A • Boil-off part of solvent A • Replace with solvent B & carry-out second reaction step Evaporate A Evaporate Mix Add B SolventA Solvent A & B Mix Repeat Design Issues: How many steps & How much to boil off each step?

  4. Solvent replacement (contd.) Reaction Product In Methanol Replace Methanol With Ethyl Acetate Required final Methanol mass Fraction ≤ 0.01 Optimal feed profile?

  5. Solvent replacement (contd.) Single stage Batch distillation Temperature Profile of bulk Composition Profile of bulk

  6. Example 3: Feed Profiles For Solvent Switching (see handout for detailed process description)
