Environment, Health & Safety

At the core of our work is a focus on sustainability. We seek to set new benchmarks not only in operational performance, but also in our ability to safeguard the enviroment from any harm.

The protection of environment, employees, and public health and safety is on the top of our organisational agenda. Not only do we implement the best EHS standards, but we also strive to continuously improve as regulations and practices in India and the world evolve. Our biggest advantage is the learning through audits by global pharma and biotech organizations that helps us validate our EHS practices and facilitate further improvements.

Rigorous Process Safety Evaluation for handling Hazardous Chemistry

Laurus Synthesis ensures effective management of chemical risks, thermal runaway and power handling hazards through deployment of comprehensive process safety procedures. Every process that is scaled up in our plant goes through a rigorous process safety evaluation to understand the risks and to have the right process controls in place.

  • Team of chemical engineers capable of independently generting all necessary process safety data from reaction safety to powder safety
  • Capability to handle process safety studies (hazard assessment) & risk analysis; Chemical engineers regularly advise the process chemistry & manufacturing groups on scale-up related issues, especially in crystal formation
  • Fully-equipped laboratory with process safety equipments; RC1e, DSC, ARC including power testing and process engineering studies using FBRM and PVM, spray dryer and flow reactor with MixIt software
  • Process engineering lab with automated reactors (Optimax synthesis workstations) to study CPPs (Critical Process Parameters) etc.
