Active pharmaceutical ingredients
API in pharma
Active pharmaceutical ingredients (API’s) are the substances in medicines, which give them their therapeutic properties.
Process equipment for the API
APIs are produced in high value-added product batches, requiring corrosion resistant reactors, overhead condensers and pipework.
Reactor vessel
API are produced in small high-value-added batches in a reaction vessel. Synthesis reactions may be produced in a severely corrosive environment requiring reactive metals reactors.
Overhead condensers
Mersen designs and manufactures condensers to specific customer process specifications, in compliance with international GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice) regulations.
PTFE-lined pipes
Armylor PTFE lined pipework for any API production sites.
