Abstract In the chemical and pharmaceutical industry, a fast and efficient market launch is important to withstand global competition. Apart from the innovation of new products, the development of an appropriate production line is time‐consuming. Modularization can accelerate the design and commissioning of a production plant. Herein, representative of a pharmaceutical process, the production, precisely the solid‐liquid separation, of amino acids is considered. Therefore, the separation behavior of different amino acid systems and variations within solid systems are examined. With this information, a production plant is designed and differences regarding the amino acid systems are identified.
