Advanced-Flow™ Reactors (AFR) | Continuous Lab Flow and Industrial Reactor Technology | Corning

Continuous flow processing technologies from lab feasibility to industrial production

continuous flow reactors from lab feasibility to industrial production

Corning® Advanced-Flow Reactors (AFR) are an inherently safer technology for the production of chemicals in the pharmaceutical, specialty and fine chemical industries. They are specially designed to enable the conversion from traditional batch to continuous flow chemical processing for lab to industrial-scale production.

The core of AFR technology is Corning’s integrated fluidic module with its patented HEART design, which we've meticulously engineered out of glass or silicon carbide materials to allow for rapid and seamless scale-up, as well as improved heat transfer and mass transfer (mixing). Our fluidic modules feature small internal channels to reduce reaction volume, which is a key factor in limiting potential risks in chemical processing.

Corning reactors are more durable in corrosive conditions and address a wide range of applications to enable increased efficiency, scalability, yields, and higher quality chemical processing at a much smaller footprint compared to traditional batch reactors.
