How to reduce cycle times, improve yield, and minimize solvent waste in pharmaceutical workflows

Solvent evaporation is a bottleneck in many pharmaceutical and chemical workflows. It’s slow, energy-intensive, and often inconsistent. This white paper outlines practical strategies to optimize evaporation processes—cutting cycle times by up to 40%, improving product recovery, and reducing solvent waste. The paper is especially relevant for lab managers, process engineers, and formulation scientists working with rotary evaporators, vacuum systems, or automated evaporation platforms.

What You’ll Learn

  • How temperature, pressure, and vessel geometry affect evaporation rates
  • Why solvent selection impacts both efficiency and safety
  • How automation and sensor feedback loops improve reproducibility
  • Case studies comparing manual vs. automated evaporation setups
  • Benchmarks for throughput, solvent recovery, and energy use

Who Should Read This

This paper is designed for professionals in pharmaceutical R&D, chemical synthesis, and analytical labs who are responsible for process optimization. If you're tasked with improving throughput or reducing waste in evaporation workflows, this is directly applicable.

Optimizing Solvent Evaporation Processes

FAQs

Poor temperature control, inconsistent vacuum levels, and mismatched vessel sizes are the top contributors to inefficiency. These lead to longer cycle times and lower solvent recovery.
