BSC operates a substantial Pilot Plant to facilitate kilogram scale production and process scale-up. As manufacturing scale increases, processes from the R&D Laboratory and the Kilo Lab move into the Pilot Plant. The Pilot Plant is designed to directly correlate to large-scale manufacturing, which includes handling bulk air-sensitive materials, real-time process data acquisition, and multiple agitation systems.The glass-lined and stainless-steel Pilot Plant reactors range in size from 100 to 380 liters with an operating temperature range from -90 to 280 C. Filtration capabilities include stainless steel Nutsche and horizontal plate filters, and distillation capabilities include short path, fractional, and wiped-film evaporators.
