CoPIRIDE : new technical expertise relating to the anionic polymerisation of 1,3-Butadiene

CoPIRIDE is a flagship “Future Factory” project in the 7 Framework Program of the EU (www.copiride.eu). The entire goal of the project is processes intensification (PI) by increasing space-time yield (STY) while keeping product specification. Higher STY allows a compact design of the reactor to integrate it into a module that fits in a compact container infrastructure also in face of reducing time to market. The so-called Evotrainer includes the whole process as an enclosed system. By its standard size it is easy to bring it to the markets or where the educts are cheap.
