Flow Chemistry has brought chemical reactions to considerable advances. Pharmaceutical manufacturers and their legislative authority (FDA) were the first to decide consequently for continuous production and more has been reported in specialty and fine chemicals.

The process design of flow chemistry remains prime innovation challenge and is not completed by far; certainly not what concerns pilot scale. An intensified flow separation is largely missing. Similarly, implementation of analytical characterization needs to be enlarged and driven by real-world needs, e.g. process-analytical technologies in the frame of pharma’s quality monitoring. For both and more process issues, conceptual and experimental studies are presented. Processes scale with ‘opportunities’ and those are opened by favorable sustainability, which is costs and environmental issues. That ‘cash-flow’ will be given.
