At KOPL, we have commercialized an improved and innovative process for Kopirox production. This innovative process has successfully reduced usage of solvents, processed water and also saved on usage of the chilling plant etc.  Thus, it effectively saves time and energy, contributes towards conservation of natural resources. 

The earlier process was cumbersome and involved usage of huge volume of solvents like acetic acid, methanol, sodium methoxide solution and processed water generating high volume of effluents.  

The older process also involved using excess energy and time consumption by utilizing continuously the chilling plant for about 72 hours. Our improved process gave potential solutions to all the above mentioned problems.

The present process improvement was successfully scaled from 1 kg to 15 metric ton level. 

The process is unique and thus recognized by FICCI leading to prestigious Manufacturing Process Innovation Award in Chemicals sector for 2017.
