Batch Versus Continuous Crystallization
Continuous Crystallization
• Built in flexibility for control
• Does not necessarily discharge at equilibrium
conditions
• Lower cost
• CSD is broad
• Polymorph Control?
Batch Crystallization
• Cleaning done between each batch
• Simplicity of equipment
• Narrower size distribution
• Higher cost

Starting from Isolated Freebase to final API
Continuous process- effectively telescoped into 2 steps(15 L pilot-plant scale crystallizer), 8 hours total residence time
First stage: simultaneous reaction and crystallization
Second stage: further growth and nucleation

There are limited studies on polymorphism in continuous crystallization
Polymorphism impacts product bioavailability and manufacturability
There are fundamental differences when moving from batch to continuous crystallization process:
23
● Residence time distribution
● Steady state vs. Equilibrium
● Secondary nucleation
● Seeding Efficacy
Example 3: Control of Polymorphism in Continuous Crystallization
● No solvent mediated transformation

Case Study objectives:
• Study the effect of seeding
• Effect of process parameters (residence time, temperature) on steady state polymorphism and stability
Simulation methodology:
• Population balance equations (partial integro-differential equations)
• Mass balance between liquid and solids
• Method of characteristics solves PDE at steady state
• Obtain steady state yield and polymorphism

Dynamic simulation can be used to determine the S.S.
polymorphism and the S.S. stability
• Further investigate effect of temperature and residence time
• May be difficult to obtain desired form at short residence time (>13hrs
in the case of the commercial β L-glutamic acid)
Design MSMPR system to achieve desired polymorph (β
form) while reducing total residence time:
• Continuous seeding from MSMPR cascade
