Process Optimization
Stop running one-factor-at-a-time campaigns. Arvochem learns from each experiment and suggests the most informative next run — finding optimal conditions in 33% fewer experiments, cutting reagent waste and lab time.
- Multiple acquisition strategies — balance exploration vs exploitation
- Continuous, categorical, and step-size parameter types
- Built-in chemistry databases — 360+ solvents, 550+ Henry’s-law pairs, 70+ coformers & counter-ions
- Heterogeneous catalyst support with physical-property descriptors
- Transfer learning from related datasets or past campaigns
- Interactive 3D surface, contour with uncertainty toggle, Pareto front
- Predicted outcome ± uncertainty on every suggestion
- Smart stopping — target goals, convergence, diminishing returns
The optimizer isn't just for chemistry.
It's a general-purpose experimental-design engine. Any problem with tunable parameters and a measurable outcome works out of the box — no coding required. The Optimization module runs as a standalone purchase.

Reactor Scale-Up
Take your fitted rate law from lab to pilot scale without switching tools. Arvochem sizes the reactor, classifies thermal safety, and handles mixing and heat transfer — all connected to your kinetics data.
- Reactor sizing for Batch, CSTR, PFR, and cascade configurations
- Stoessel thermal-safety classification (Class 1–5) with cooling-failure analysis
- Mixing scale-up — constant P/V, tip speed, or Reynolds number
- Heat-transfer sizing — jacket or coil, with A/V ratio scaling
- Batch-to-continuous feasibility assessment
- Monte Carlo uncertainty propagation from your kinetics fit
- Built for QbD — proven acceptable ranges and critical process parameters
