Derivatives lines
Alexandria Engineering Industries designs and manufactures flexible, modular derivatives production lines for the synthesis and purification of chemical derivatives used across pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, lubricants, surfactants, polymers, and fine chemical industries.
These lines transform base chemicals or intermediates (e.g., fatty acids, glycerol, benzene, ethylene, alcohols, amines) into higher-value derivatives such as:
- Esters (e.g., biodiesel, plasticizers, emollients)
- Amides & Amines (e.g., corrosion inhibitors, surfactants)
- Ethers & Glycol Ethers (solvents, brake fluids)
- Sulfonates & Phosphates (detergents, lubricant additives)
- Halogenated or Nitrated Compounds (pharma intermediates)
Key Features
✅ Chemistry-First Design: Engineered around your specific reaction (esterification, amidation, etherification, etc.)
✅ Material Compatibility: Reactor linings and wetted parts matched to corrosive media (e.g., glass, PTFE, Hastelloy)
✅ Full Automation: PLC/DCS control with:
- Automated dosing
- Reaction calorimetry (optional)
- pH, temperature, pressure, and level monitoring
✅ Modular Skid Design: Factory-tested units for fast on-site installation
✅ Regulatory Ready: Compliant with GMP, REACH, OSHA, and ISO 14001 standards
✅ Scalable: Seamless scale-up from lab → pilot → production
