08:00~11:30 Process Technology for Producing Agrochemical Actives - the Foundation for Profitable Business
1. Major Agrochemicals Used in China
- Review of the top twenty active ingredients made and used in China
- Processes used to make these TCs will be reviewed
2. Cost of Production
- Process definition
- Sourcing raw materials / intermediates
- Getting realistic prices
- Models for calculating costs (raw material costs, fixed costs, capital costs)
- Comparing costs of competitors in China and abroad
3. Detailed Evaluation of Major Technical Challenges
- Advice on how to develop/improve own processes, with following topics available for discussion
- Route selection, chemical development and scale-up
- Deriving the maximum information from each experiment/test run
- Process flow sheets to control material balance
- Focusing on critical cost elements to reduce overall costs
- Minimising effluents and effective environmental control
