Fine Chemical Processing
Purity is critical in medical-grade and fine chemical manufacturing, where even trace contaminants can compromise patient safety, product integrity and regulatory compliance.
Puragen develops and provides applications for medical-grade purification that meet strict standards for pharmaceutical production (EU GMP Annex 1) and chemical processing (REACH, EPA and BPR regulations). From fine chemical production to high-purity solvent purification and recovery, Puragen’s solutions ensure consistent quality, process efficiency and compliance with the most demanding industry regulations.

Contaminants we remove
Puragen’s fine chemical processing applications efficiently adsorb a range of harmful organic contaminants, ensuring safe, high-purity chemical and medical production.
- Purification of pharmaceutical ingredients
Purification of amino acids, glycerine, mineral acids and active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) - By-products and impurities from the production process
Amine and glycol purification, removing contaminants from gas scrubber systems. Solvent recovery in chemical processing, petrochemicals and in ink or dye production, reducing emissions, and cutting operational costs - Chlorine and disinfection byproducts
Dechlorination of process water or the filtration of intermediate or finished products - Dissolved volatile organic compounds (VOCs)
Environmental protection during chemical and pharmaceutical manufacturing, removing dissolved VOCs
Activated carbon products for Fine Chemical Processing
Puragen provides a comprehensive range of activated carbon solutions for fine chemical products purification, including high purity acid washed variants, for use in liquid chemicals and pharmaceutical purification processes.

Granular Activated Carbon (GAC)
Offers high-capacity adsorption for continuous filtration, removing chlorine, dissolved VOCs and other organic compounds.

Powdered Activated Carbon (PAC)
