Process Mass Intensity Assessment Service

Process mass intensity (PMI) is a fundamental metric that is valuable to yield increases and raw material expenses across a variety of chemical industries. At CD BioSciences-GreenChemistry, we offer comprehensive PMI assessment services to clients ranging from the pharmaceutical to the chemical industry to optimize their processes and improve material spending efficiency.

What Is Process Mass Intensity (PMI)?

PMI is a key indicator of the efficiency with which substances are utilized in chemical and pharmaceutical manufacturing processes. It is defined as the ratio of the total mass of all substances used in the production of a product to the target product mass.

By quantifying the inputs and outputs of substances in the production process, PMI helps professionals identify and reduce unnecessary consumption of substances, thereby improving production efficiency and environmental performance.

Our Professional Services

CD BioSciences-GreenChemistry provides professional process PMI assessment services, with scientific rigor and advanced methodology, to help each client achieve green and efficient production of chemical substances.

Workflow of PMI Assessment Service

Comprehensive Data Collection and Analysis

We use advanced data collection technology combined with chemical engineering expertise to accurately measure the consumption of all substances in the production process (including raw materials, reagents, solvents, catalysts, and post-processing chemicals, etc.), and to synchronize the recording of the yield of target products.

Customized PMI Calculation Model Construction

Based on the collected data, we provide custom PMI calculation models. Considering the characteristics and needs of chemical production, we flexibly adjust the model parameters, such as classification of substances, conversion of mass units, etc., to ensure the accuracy and practicability of the calculation results.

In-depth Assessment

Based on PMI calculations, we apply chemical engineering principles and environmental science theories to conduct an in-depth assessment of material consumption in the production process. By comparing data as well as best practices, we identify the main aspects of substance consumption and potential improvement points.

Evaluation Methods for PMI

Data Collection

Collect data on the consumption of all substances in the production process and the yield of the target product.

Quality Calculation

Calculate the total mass of all substances and the mass of the target product based on the collected data.

PMI Calculation

Divide the total mass by the target product mass to get the PMI value.

Result Analysis

Analyze the PMI value to identify the main aspects of substance consumption and potential improvement points.
