Corning AFR Workshops

Corning's "Making Chemistry Possible with Flow", previously “Stepping into Advanced-Flow Reactors”, workshop highlights the fundamentals of flow chemistry and the advantages of our continuous flow reactor technologies and engineering services. 

To support the chemical industry's desire to improve the quality and cost of products and drugs, as well as new requirements to implement increased safety and environmental practices, many manufacturers are considering making the switch to continuous flow manufacturing. To help advance this transition, Corning’s Advanced-Flow Reactors team has made it our mission to provide customers with technologies and service solutions that are designed to support the transition from traditional batch to continuous flow chemical processing.

We have established a global network of services and resources dedicated to educating customers on the advantages of flow chemistry and our Corning® Advanced-Flow™ Reactor (AFR) Technology. 

Additionally, Corning developed workshops designed to educate individuals about the fundamentals of flow chemistry and the advantages of our continuous flow reactor technologies and services.

Corning Advanced-Flow Reactor workshops began in 2012 at the Corning European Technology Center in Fontainebleau, France. Then, in 2014 AFR extended the workshop events to the US, hosting the first event at Corning’s Headquarters in Corning, NY. Since the first workshop, more than 350 participants benefited from this opportunity to get a deep view of the industrial application of this technology. 

The “Making Chemistry Possible with Flow” workshop focuses on the fundamentals of continuous flow chemistry from various fields such as organic chemistry, chemical and mechanical engineering, analytics, and others. We explore customer use cases for AFR Technology and the advantages of Corning’s reactor products and supporting services. The workshop also includes a live reactor demonstration for participants to experience the technology first-hand. Interested participants at the European workshops can schedule a half-day course to meet one-on-one with the Corning AFR team to discuss their specific applications.
