Senior Research Associate

Responsibility  Lab demonstration & scale up of new DMF and NDMF molecules, Process Optimization before Scale-up activities, Execution of Kilo Lab batches & technology transfer activity. Principal Tasks and Responsibilities:  Understanding the process in details with concerned scientist with experiments in the lab. Suggest/Discuss problem that may arise at plant level prospect.  Study the operational parameters of different unit operations like crystallization, distillation, drying, and extraction and optimize those parameters based on energy basis, cost basis, safety concerns accordingly.  Preparing list of facility requirement like equipment, utilities at Production.  To find out the root cause of the failed batches in plant and take up experiments based on the proposed solution.  Solvent recovery and system capacity enhancement.  Scale up of products from R&D to plant scale by doing engineering calculations and observing the kinetics involved in the reaction.  Responsible for all documents / records maintained properly. Ensure old records are archived properly and are retrievable.  To maintain quality and safety standards in Lab and Kilo lab.  Prepare trend analysis of various tests, trials & experiments in order to arrive at logical conclusions by using dynochem.  Co-ordinate with Maintenance regarding breakdown and preventive maintenance of equipment’s or facility.  Coordination with R&D, TT, ARL, EHS, Engineering Dept. and Plant for smooth functioning of Lab & Technology Transfer activities.  PSD related batches/experiments plan in Air Jet mill/Multimill.  Crystallization and polymorphic studies.  XRD and PSD analysis and handling of instruments.
