11 Importance of Solvents Why solvents are needed: Solubilizing the reactants Facilitate reaction Facilitate heat transfer/control Purification etc. Solvent constitute typically wt% of the process mass Contribute about % to the cost of manufacturing of Active ingredient Number of solvents used in a API unit could be any where in range of Number of used solvent stream could be > EQUINOX. All rights reserved 11

12 Spent Solvent Management Solvent disposal Strategy Developed Economies India Sell-off used solvent Low High Incineration Considerable Low Re-processing or recycling Moderate to High Lowmoderate Losses # Low to Moderate stricter norms High # Not exactly a disposal strategy 2009 EQUINOX. All rights reserved 12

13 Solvent Recovery - Complexities Solvents never ends up pure at the end of the process Strict procedural practices preventing inter-mixing of solvents Solvents required generally have polarity resulting in complex mixture with water and with other solvents Vicissitude nature of product line 2009 EQUINOX. All rights reserved 13

14 Green Factor Greenness factor E-factor or MI ( mass intensity) Amount of waste generate per unit mass of API produced. Typically, ranges from 25 to over 100 Green metrics rarely on radar of small & medium manufacturers Solvent management is critical in improving the Greenness factor 2009 EQUINOX. All rights reserved 14

15 Hurdles for Solvent Recovery Initiatives Lack of management mindshare Other more important process related problems to tackle Easy way out Lack of incentives - fresh versus recycle Management apprehension in investing in the technologies due lack of clarity on the ROI Lack of clarity in their application & efficacy High cost of licenses Lack of skill to handle computer aided technologies Training initiatives Attrition Primitive facility Manual operation Rudimentary instrumentation 2009 EQUINOX. All rights reserved 15

16 Engineering Practices Engineering Practices, the questions: How are the solvent streams managed in the unit? Dedicated process team Experience over the years Scientific tool Are there any rules (thumb rule) being followed for segregation of the waste solvent streams? Handbooks of solvent MSDS Etc How is the solvent recovery system designed & operated? Trial & error Literature input 2009 EQUINOX. All rights reserved 16

17 An Indian Experience A case study is discussed here to highlight the efficacy of applying engineering practices to improve /enable recovery of solvent in an existing batch distillation plant 2009 EQUINOX. All rights reserved 17

20 Solution Strategy Technical Feasibility with available hardware If feasible, optimum process conditions to get desired purity If infeasible - Alternate method of distillation (without any hardware change) to achieve the desired purity If infeasible with alternate method - modification of existing hardware to achieve the desired purity Cont 2009 EQUINOX.
