At present, Corning Reactor Technology has a full range of reactors and systems from teaching, research and development to large-scale production

　　Learning from   Corning knows that it is relatively difficult for universities and enterprises to transform technology
.
To this end, Corning has spared no effort to promote the promotion and application of continuous flow technology in universities, research institutes and enterprises
.
So far, Corning has carried out multi-level, multi-form and all-round cooperation with nearly 100 colleges and universities at home and abroad
.
Many teams of professors have conducted extensive research through the application of Corning reactors, and have formed a large number of patents and research papers.
Some research results have been successfully industrialized and achieved good economic and social benefits
.
The team led by Professor Klavs F.
Jensen of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology published a large number of influential articles combining AI technology and continuous flow technology, and successfully developed a refrigerator-sized API pharmaceutical equipment
.
Corning has cooperated with many universities to promote the application of continuous flow technology in undergraduate and graduate education courses.
Corning's reactor was applied to the undergraduate course of MIT's Flow Chemistry Molecular Preparation Laboratory and won the best course of 2018
.
Fuzhou University, under the leadership of Professor Zheng Huidong, carried out the postgraduate experimental teaching of the flow chemistry microreaction platform, and received positive feedback from students
.
In Binzhou, Shandong, the "unmanned" factory for continuous nitrification with an annual throughput of 10,000 tons has also become a training base for intrinsically safe mobile chemistry for local universities and corporate employees
.

　　Research  Corning Reactor Technology Co.
, Ltd.
pursues innovation-driven development, continuously innovates in reactor performance, application and industrialization, and has 135 related authorized patents
.
In recent years, Corning users have published hundreds of papers using Corning's reactor R&D platform, applied 10 patents, and established 10 sets of mass production platforms; many pharmaceutical companies have applied Corning's reactor technology in drug development and production.
Significant progress has been made, involving drugs in various fields such as anti-inflammatory, anti-viral, and anti-tumor
.

　　Over the years, Corning and its customers have never stopped the development of new application areas.
Turkey Quantag Nanotechnology Company uses Corning’s microchannel reactor technology to continuously prepare 2-20 nanometer-sized controllable quantum dot QD products for high-end anti-counterfeiting printing; Corning The reactor helped South Korea KISCO break through the quality problem of polyimide monomer production, which attracted the attention of South Korean high-level officials

　　In his speech, Academician Jin Yong of Tsinghua University emphasized that the intrinsic safety and green development of chemical industry depend on two basic tasks, one is the continuous upgrade of supervision and management, and the other is the continuous empowerment of technological innovation
.
From the perspective of technological development, it is difficult for the chemical industry to achieve intrinsic safety and green development because large-scale industrial production must pursue large-scale and high-efficiency, and large-scale and high-efficiency are sometimes contradictory to the requirements of intrinsic safety.
It’s difficult to have both fish and bear’s paws
.
Corning's new continuous flow technology represented by microchannels has opened up innovative ideas for solving this problem
.
This innovative technology not only complies with the safety requirements of single-line traces, but also takes into account the large-scale and high-efficiency parallel integration.
It is an ingenious design that gathers sand into a tower and sees everything
.
Corning continuous flow reactor technology has undergone more than ten years of continuous innovation and improvement.
It has used intrinsic safety, green efficiency to help safe, effective, and high-quality chemical production.
It has become one of the priority applications and development technologies in the chemical, pharmaceutical and new material industries.
Very good development potential and prospects
.
At present, Corning's single 10,000-ton industrial plant has been successfully applied, which has pioneered the application of microreactors to the large-scale production of chemicals, which is of great significance
.

　　Academician Ma Dawei of the Shanghai Institute of Organic Chemistry of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, at the first International Continuous Flow Technology Education Forum held at the same time, focused on the importance of combining continuous flow and AI technology to develop intelligent synthesis devices.
