Organic synthesis and distillation - complementary expertise

Do you have a product needs transforming before it is distilled? Do you have waste you wish to turn into a useful resource? Are you developing a product that requires specific transformation?

We produce a variety of chemical reactions with high value-added advanced molecules. We offer “catalog” products, “monoclient” products, and custom synthesis for a variety of industries, including agrochemical, animal health, photography, pharmaceutical and specialty chemical.

Our solid/liquid separation and drying reaction capacity means we can market products in considerable volumes, in big bags.

Capable of both separating and transforming molecules, our complementary production tools enable us to undertake multi-stage operations, including synthesis, purification and physical treatments.

We provide an integrated offer, which when applied to certain categories of waste, can serve to develop new circular economy loops…something worth thinking about!

We make regular deliveries and collections all over Europe, using our fleet of iso-containers, our fixed storage facilities and our relationships with several international logistics partners. Our teams visit your premises to consider the most effective solutions for your needs. We also deliver in tanks, isotanks or platform trucks. Moreover, we offer conditioning in IBCs and/or barrels, even for temperature-sensitive products.

Producing synthetic molecules in four steps

You can entrust your project to us at any stage.

Project feasibility study

After receiving a sample, we put together a technical dossier and determine the most appropriate treatment for your product, depending on the properties and volumes to process. We follow your specs with respect to quality standards as well as disposing of and processing the waste.

Kilo lab

For new purification projects, we conduct tests on representative samples (1 to 2 kg) to develop analysis procedures, conduct corrosion tests, and approve process choices.

Pilot test

We conduct pre-industrial tests to determine the settings, assess the drift sensitivity and draft the operating procedure.

Industrial-scale treatment

Our 20 reactors (stainless steel, glass-lined steel, Hastelloy) provide us with a total reaction volume of 120m3. The product is then conditioned in bulk, IBCs or barrels. Auxiliary storage and logistics solutions can also be provided.

Certifications

We have always sought to improve our practices, measure our impact on the environment and achieve the highest standards with respect to energy and environmental performance.

Reasons to place your trust in us

End-to-end support

The success of each operation relies on comprehensive analysis and lab trials, followed by a preindustrial pilot. We support you throughout your project across all technical, logistical and regulatory aspects.

Safety above all else

All our facilities are categorized as Seveso plants and our teams operate in strict compliance with safety standards so as to ensure all our employees, subcontractors and clients remain safe. They receive training about the risks involved in their work and how to use safety equipment (fire safetyhealth and safety, hazmat suits, self-contained breathing apparatusATEX, and driver competence training).

A partner helping you bring about your environmental transition

As specialists in the circular economy, we develop many solutions to minimize the environmental impact and carbon emissions of your projects in order to combat climate change. Our complementary expertise in synthesis and purification enables us to develop new recovery solutions.

Commitment to biodiversity

At Séché Environnement, biodiversity forms an integral part of our business model. Our team of ecologists and biodiversity ambassadors take action on the ground at our industrial facilities and the surrounding areas. We consider the impact of the specific biodiversity of the actual area before starting work on any project, focusing on protecting species, renaturing ecosystems and raising awareness among stakeholders.
