A Chemistry-Native AI Workbench for Industrial Chemistry R&D

REACTOR is used by industrial chemists across process chemistry, continuous manufacturing, industrial catalysis, petrochemicals, bulk and commodity chemistry, and process safety. It reasons across peer-reviewed literature, your own protocols, and connected chemistry data sources, with source references for extracted claims and supporting citations for synthesized inferences.

For Industrial Chemistry Scientists

Industrial chemistry R&D moves between molecular chemistry and large-scale process realities.

A typical project covers process route selection, scale-up chemistry, catalysis at industrial scale, heat and mass transfer considerations, process safety, and ongoing optimization. Each step draws on peer-reviewed literature, internal process data, supplier specs, and the team's own scale-up history.

The slow part is reasoning across that surface while keeping the chemistry context tied to process reality. Holding reaction chemistry, engineering constraints, safety profile, and economics in context as the project moves from bench to pilot to plant.

REACTOR is a chemistry co-pilot designed for this work. It reasons across industrial chemistry alongside the materials you bring in, links extracted claims to source documents, and keeps captured insights organized in your Research Space.

Notable Divisions

Where REACTOR Fits Across Industrial Chemistry

Industrial chemistry R&D spans a broad chemistry surface. Each sub-area has its own reasoning challenges, and each benefits from a chemistry-native intelligence layer.

Process Chemistry & Scale-Up

Scale-up chemistry brings reaction engineering, kinetics, and mass transfer into the chemistry decision. REACTOR reasons across scale-up literature, side-reaction pathways, and process variables, drawing on peer-reviewed sources and your own data.

Continuous Manufacturing & Flow Chemistry

Flow chemistry, microreactor design, and continuous processing reshape how reactions are run at scale. REACTOR reasons across emerging continuous-process literature, residence-time and selectivity considerations, and the chemistry of process intensification.

Industrial Catalysis

Heterogeneous and homogeneous catalysis at industrial scale demands reasoning across activity, selectivity, lifetime, and process integration. REACTOR pulls relevant catalysis literature and supports comparison of catalyst systems for industrial applications.

Petrochemicals & Refining Chemistry

Hydrocarbon transformations, cracking chemistry, hydroprocessing, and refining chemistry remain central to industrial chemistry. REACTOR reasons across petrochemical literature, process variables, and emerging transitions toward lower-carbon feedstocks.

Bulk & Commodity Chemistry

Bulk chemicals — ammonia, methanol, ethylene oxide, urea, and others — define industrial chemistry infrastructure. REACTOR reasons across reaction chemistry, process design, and emerging green transitions across these systems.

Process Safety & Hazard Chemistry

Runaway reactions, thermal hazards, reactivity profiling, and inherent safety design depend on reasoning across hazardous chemistry. REACTOR pulls relevant safety literature, hazard data, and prior-art on process safety incidents and design choices.

What This Looks Like in Industrial Chemistry

Concrete examples of how REACTOR's chemistry-native reasoning supports the full R&D loop: discover, analyze, capture, reuse.

Discover · Analyze

Scale-Up Route Evaluation

A process chemist evaluating a route to a new intermediate at pilot scale interrogates the literature on scale-up chemistry, side reactions, and impurity formation. REACTOR reasons across the chemistry, with source references on extracted claims.

Analyze · Capture

Comparing Continuous Processing Approaches

A senior chemist comparing batch and continuous-flow approaches uploads recent process literature and the team's kinetic data. REACTOR reasons across residence time, selectivity, and impurity behavior, with the analysis captured as a Resource.

Analyze · Reuse

Investigating a Catalyst Lifetime Issue

An R&D lead investigating catalyst deactivation in an industrial unit uploads characterization data and adjacent literature. REACTOR surfaces relevant deactivation chemistry and prior-art context, attached to the Research Space.

Discover · Capture

Forking Reasoning on Two Reaction Routes

A process chemist forks a reasoning thread to evaluate two reaction routes for a new commodity intermediate. Both lines of inquiry stay live in the Research Space, with AI Notes and User Notes captured separately.

Beyond Chemistry Literature

Web Research Inside REACTOR

REACTOR includes live web research alongside its core chemistry reasoning. Industrial chemists use it to evaluate equipment and catalyst suppliers, compare process technology vendors, track regulatory and safety standards, and access current industry intelligence from across the open web. Web results are presented with source provenance; users should verify critical safety or regulatory information against primary literature, regulatory databases, or supplier data.

Test REACTOR on Your Own Industrial Chemistry Work

Open a Research Space, bring in a paper, patent, or one of your own process data, and see how REACTOR reasons across the chemistry in your own work.

REACTOR supports R&D reasoning and information work. It is not a substitute for institutional safety review. Always consult qualified safety officers and validated SOPs before lab work involving hazardous chemistry.
