Lab
Ib Winckelmann, Manager, Synthesis Development, will lead the participation in
INDOX. Besides him, the main contribution will come from three Departments:
i) Synthesis Development Department, employing 26 people expert in organic synthesis as well as the practical laboratory use of this in developing new processes as well as improving existing ones;
ii) Pilot Plant and Process Development Department, employing 10 people expert in scale-up of laboratory processes to technical production scale as well as implementation of these processes in Cheminova production plants; and
iii) Analytical Development Department employing 22 people expert in developing analytical methods for quantification products and intermediates as well as supporting the two aforementioned departments in their work.
Main role in INDOX
Cheminova will contribute with its expertise in optimization of organic chemical reactions with respect to raw material economy, environmental and safety factors as well as production cost. This will primarily be done in laboratory studies but also tested in pilot scale when relevant. Main focus will be on intermediates used for production of agrochemicals but biocatalytic synthesis of other commercially interesting compounds will be attempted as well. Further, the biocatalysis processes developed during
INDOX will be evaluated for their commercial viability against traditional chemical production methods.
