A collaborative R&D project to design, build and trial a modular unit for the continuous production of a range of marketleading anionic surfactants, currently manufactured in the UK by Croda Europe Ltd. Based on patented ContinuousOscillating Baffle Reactor (COBR) technology, the project will deliver a new process for the manufacture of existingproducts, with significant improvements in operational and capital costs and process sustainability without impactingproduct quality. Processes are specifically designed for integration with existing batch manufacturing assets to provideincreased capacity without the need for new supporting infrastructure and extended footprint.The consortium believes that the 30% targeted reduction in operational costs, combined with reduced capital requirementswill make investment in UK manufacturing a competitive option in a global market. This industry led, four partnerconsortium (Croda, CPI, University of Cambridge, Institute for Manufacturing and NiTech) will establish technical andcommercial viability of the concept; de-risking Croda future commercial investment in the proposed technology. Theimpact of this strategy to create flexible manufacturing capacity on existing business models will be explored.

这是一个合作研发项目，旨在设计、建造和试验一个模块化装置，用于连续生产一系列市场领先的阴离子表面活性剂，目前由Croda Europe Ltd.在英国生产。该项目基于专利的连续振荡挡板反应器（COBR）技术，将为现有产品的生产提供一种新工艺，在不影响产品质量的情况下，显著改善了运营和资本成本以及工艺可持续性。工艺是专门为与现有的批量生产资产整合而设计的，以提供更高的产能，而无需新的支持基础设施和更大的占地面积。该财团认为，运营成本降低30%的目标，加上减少的资本要求，将使投资英国制造业成为全球市场上具有竞争力的选择。该行业牵头的四个合作伙伴联盟（禾大、CPI、剑桥大学、制造研究所和NiTech）将确立该概念的技术和商业可行性;降低禾大未来对拟议技术的商业投资风险。将探讨这一战略对现有商业模式的影响，以创造灵活的制造能力。
