A continuous flow process (CFP) for the production of an acid chloride includes the following steps: (i) providing or forming a first reactant comprising a chlorine-donating compound; (ii) providing or forming a second reactant comprising a carboxylic acid; (iii) providing a first continuous flow of the first reactant into a reactor at a first flow rate; (iv) providing a second continuous flow of the second reactant into the reactor at a second flow rate; and (v) mixing the first reactant and the second reactant in a portion of the reactor and reacting the first reactant and the second reactant to provide a reaction product comprising an acid chloride.

The present disclosure relates to a volume tailorable manufacturing system for quality assured manufacturing of biosafety level classified biopharmaceutical products and a method for tailoring a production volume capability of a manufacturing system. The volume tailorable manufacturing system comprises one or more multi-product suites and a control facility configured to control a unidirectional flow in a circulation system of the one or more multi-product suites. The circulation system is configured to interconnect the one or more multi-product suites and comprises separated supply and return systems. The supply system comprising at least one inlet, the return system comprising at least one outlet that is paired with the inlet and provided at a spatially predetermined position from the inlet, and each inlet/outlet pair comprises a seal when not connected to an adjacent multi-product suite.

The present disclosure provides biorefining systems for co-producing activated carbon along with primary products. A host plant converts a feedstock comprising biomass into primary products and carbon-containing co-products; a modular reactor system pyrolyzes and activates the co-products, to generate activated carbon and pyrolysis off-gas; and an oxidation unit oxidizes the pyrolysis off-gas, generating CO.sub.2, H.sub.2O, and energy. The energy is recycled and utilized in the host plant, and the CO.sub.2 and H.sub.2O may be recycled to the reactor system as an activation agent. The host plant may be a saw mill, a pulp and paper plant, a corn wet or dry mill, a sugar production facility, or a food or beverage plant, for example. In some embodiments, the activated carbon is utilized at the host plant to purify one or more primary products, to purify water, to treat a liquid waste stream, and/or to treat a vapor waste stream.

The present invention provides a safe, disposable and biodegradable chlorine dioxide micro generator that uses water soluble paper and hydrogel or compressed cellulose encased in filter paper pouch. The chemicals are kept in a stabilize form until activated by the addition of water. Multiple levels of protection against early exposure to water such as a foil pouch and an impermeable outer container allow for the safe transportation and storage in small, ready for deployment amounts of the chemicals. Water permeated the chemical pack housing and dissolves the paper walls of the chemical pouch housing and then the water facilitates the reaction between the acid and the sodium chlorite to form chlorine dioxide gas as will be described further hereunder. Absorbent and permeable materials packaged around the chemicals provide for the safe containment of the chlorine dioxide solution, and the expeditious aeration and release of the chlorine dioxide gas, once the chemical reaction has been completed.
