Business Wire
Corning Incorporated (NYSE:GLW) today announced that the
Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) will begin working with
Corning�s Advanced-Flow� glass reactor in its chemical engineering
research program. Corning�s reactor has the ability to continuously
and efficiently stream chemical reactants together, rather than
mixing them in batches, thus enabling breakthroughs in
manufacturing.
�We believe continuous manufacturing of chemicals and
pharmaceuticals is an important trend for the advancement of the
chemical processing industry. Continuous manufacturing provides
significantly more efficient manufacturing and higher-purity
products, both critical benefits. Additionally, these types of
reactors enable new chemical pathways that in the past people could
only dream about accomplishing in a production environment,� said
Professor Klavs Jensen, chair of the MIT Department of Chemical
Engineering.
�We are very excited that the Department of Chemical Engineering
at MIT will be using Corning�s Advanced-Flow glass reactor
technology in its leading-edge program,� said Dr. Gary Calabrese,
vice president, Science and Technology, Corning Incorporated.
�Corning�s reactor technology is now being readied for deployment
in manufacturing locations around the world, which means that the
MIT research can have a significant impact on the future of
chemical manufacturing.�
In addition to important research work, MIT may apply Corning�s
Advanced-Flow glass reactor to its undergraduate teaching
curriculum. �It is very important to give students an education
that keeps up with the most important trends in technology. Corning
has innovated for businesses, and we need to be equally innovative
for our students,� Jensen noted.
Corning innovation, initially developed in the company�s
microreactor technology program, is now bringing significant
performance benefits to industrial chemical processing in the form
of Corning�s Advanced-Flow glass reactor. A high-throughput, easily
scalable reactor that can be customized to customers� specific
needs, the Advanced-Flow glass reactor enables a cost-effective
solution for a single reaction or a wide portfolio of reactions.
Corning�s proprietary reactor technology increases the efficiency,
scalability, and quality of chemical processing � all while
reducing environmental impact, performance variability, and
cost.
