Hikal starts construction of multiproduct API plant
Will be operational by June 2012
The flexible plant will be able to manufacture four APIs simultaneously under GMP and consists of two parallel streams running simultaneously with quick changeover capability.
The plant will also be able to accommodate 32 reactors with capacities ranging from 6m3 to 10m3, resulting in a total reactor volume of approximately 300m3.
A wide range of reactions will be carried out in the new plant, including nitration, liquid phase Oppenauer oxidation, Swern oxidation, Suzuki reaction, chiral synthesis, Mannich reaction, Friedel Craft reactions and more.
The firm says the reactors will be a combination of stainless steel and glass lined. Equipment for isolation and drying such as agitated nutsch filters, centrifuges and various types of dryers will also be installed.
Hikal has five manufacturing facilities in India at Maharashtra (Taloja and Mahad), Gujarat (Panoli) and Bangalore (Jigani), including an r&D centre and a dedicated contract research facility, Acoris Research, in Pune.
