Understanding of complex chemical reactions at industrial scale Complementary expertise in synthesis to transform your products through distillation to separate them A certified process to guarantee quality Opportunities to cut the environmental impact of your products
Organic synthesis
Organic synthesis and distillation - complementary expertise
We produce a variety of chemical reactions with high value-added advanced molecules. We offer “catalog” products, “monoclient” products, and custom synthesis for a variety of industries, including agrochemical, animal health, photography, pharmaceutical and specialty chemical.
Our solid/liquid separation and drying reaction capacity means we can market products in considerable volumes, in big bags.
Capable of both separating and transforming molecules, our complementary production tools enable us to undertake multi-stage operations, including synthesis, purification and physical treatments.
We provide an integrated offer, which when applied to certain categories of waste, can serve to develop new circular economy loops…something worth thinking about!

We make regular deliveries and collections all over Europe, using our fleet of iso-containers, our fixed storage facilities and our relationships with several international logistics partners. Our teams visit your premises to consider the most effective solutions for your needs. We also deliver in tanks, isotanks or platform trucks. Moreover, we offer conditioning in IBCs and/or barrels, even for temperature-sensitive products.
Key figures
Producing synthetic molecules in four steps
Project feasibility study
After receiving a sample, we put together a technical dossier and determine the most appropriate treatment for your product, depending on the properties and volumes to process. We follow your specs with respect to quality standards as well as disposing of and processing the waste.

Kilo lab
For new purification projects, we conduct tests on representative samples (1 to 2 kg) to develop analysis procedures, conduct corrosion tests, and approve process choices.

Pilot test
We conduct pre-industrial tests to determine the settings, assess the drift sensitivity and draft the operating procedure.

Industrial-scale treatment
Our 20 reactors (stainless steel, glass-lined steel, Hastelloy) provide us with a total reaction volume of 120m3. The product is then conditioned in bulk, IBCs or barrels. Auxiliary storage and logistics solutions can also be provided.
