DART-DM | Flow Reactors | Continuous Flow | CSTR | Flow Chemistry Processes | Flow Chemistry
Specialists in process reactor development and manufacture, from laboratory to full industrial scale. Experts in continuous flow reactors, flow chemistry, DART, DART DM and dynamically mixed flow systems.
Design and manufacture of continuous flow reactor systems: from laboratory development to full industrial scale, we deliver advanced flow chemistry and dynamically mixed reactor solutions.
Autichem specialises in the design and manufacture of advanced process reactor systems, supporting chemical, pharmaceutical and energy applications. Our expertise spans continuous flow reactors, flow chemistry and dynamically mixed reactor technologies, enabling scalable solutions from laboratory research through to industrial production
We develop and manufacture high-performance reactor systems tailored to demanding chemical processes, including:
- Continuous flow reactor design and manufacture
- Flow chemistry process development and scale-up
- DART and DART DM dynamically mixed flow reactors
- Laboratory to pilot to industrial scale reactor solutions
- Continuous process optimisation and conversion from batch to flow
Our systems are engineered to handle complex conditions, including gases, liquids, slurries and high-viscosity materials, where conventional flow reactors often struggle.
Industrial Services
Having operated in a range of different industrial sectors, we have built up a portfolio of clients and partners. Autichem can deliver services, systems, and technologies into many industrial sectors including construction, pharmaceutical and renewable energy, where the company has a proven successful pathway. Our services aim to enhance engineering pathways to process scale-up in continuous manufacturing. Consulting Services Our aim is to support clients to build a sustainable future and provide engineering support through the design process from laboratory to industrial scale. We help to develop solutions on an engineering process by process bases, whilst taking into consideration the business requirements and project risk management.
Engineering Services
At Autichem, our process engineering team delivers a complete range of design, optimisation and operational support services. We develop detailed Process Flow Diagrams and Piping and Instrumentation Diagrams, specify all necessary peripheral equipment, and prepare both User Requirement Specifications and Functional Requirement Specifications. Our engineers lead full Hazard and Operability (HAZOP) studies and provide comprehensive commissioning documentation, including IQ, OQ and PQ, ensuring every project is delivered safely, efficiently and to the highest technical standard.
Mechanical Engineering
At Autichem, our mechanical engineering capabilities cover the full spectrum of equipment and skid design, from first-principles engineering to fully detailed layouts. We specify all peripheral mechanical equipment, produce detailed designs for bespoke components, and generate the supporting documentation required for seamless project delivery, including line schedules, valve schedules and equipment lists. Our team develops complete skid designs, plant layouts, piping routes and cable routing, ensuring every system is engineered for reliability, efficiency and ease of integration.
Our proprietary DART (Dynamically Mixed Flow Reactor) technology combines mechanical mixing with continuous flow, delivering consistent performance across a wide range of process conditions.
Unlike traditional flow reactors that rely on turbulence or complex geometries, DART systems:
- Decouple mixing from throughput
- Handle suspended solids and slurries without blockage
- Scale reliably from millilitres to industrial volumes
- Support both chemical and photochemical process
We support clients across:
- Pharmaceutical manufacturing
- Fine chemicals
- Energy and advanced materials
- Process development and R&D environments
