Process Mass Intensity Calculator

Decreasing the overall quantity of materials used to manufacture a final product is a significant challenge for pharmaceutical companies. Because of the large amount of solvent used in typical manufacturing processes, decreasing materials used saves companies money (less purchased and less energy used in workup and isolation). The Process Mass Intensity (PMI) metric was developed as a way to benchmark and quantify improvements towards greener manufacturing processes. The PMI Calculator enables you to quickly determine the PMI value by accounting for the raw material inputs on the basis of the bulk API output.
