I am looking for an experienced Chemical Engineer, Process Chemist, Industrial Chemist, or Laboratory R&D Expert based in India to develop and manufacture Trimethyl Citrate through the esterification of citric acid. Project Requirements Synthesize Trimethyl Citrate using a suitable citric acid esterification process. Achieve a target yield of approximately 5 kg of finished product. Product quality should meet the following specifications: Purity: 95% or higher if you cannot check it's purity it should pass below test. Clean-burning characteristics: Burns with a pale blue or bluish flame. No visible soot or smoke formation. No noticeable odor during burning. No yellow coloration in the flame under normal test conditions. Yield trimethyl citrate must be in crystal or powder dry form. Documentation Requirements The selected expert must provide: Clear photos and videos of the synthesis process. Photos and videos of the final product. Photos/videos of any burn tests performed. Details of the production method, equipment used, and observations during the process. Delivery Requirements The complete batch (approximately 5 kg yield) must be delivered after successful production. Proper packaging and safe handling procedures should be followed during shipment. Preferred Candidate Based in India. Background in Chemical Engineering, Industrial Chemistry, Process Development, Organic Synthesis, Applied Chemistry, or Laboratory Research & Development. Prior experience with esterification reactions, specialty chemicals, organic synthesis, process scale-up, and quality testing is highly preferred. Proposal Information Please include: Your qualifications and relevant experience. Previous projects involving esterification or citrate-based compounds. Available laboratory/production facilities.

Hi, I can support the Trimethyl Citrate synthesis project through a safe, documented esterification workflow, small-batch process planning, production observation, and final material handling, provided all work is done in a proper laboratory/industrial setup with required safety controls. The best solution is to first confirm raw material grade, target purity, available equipment, testing capability, drying/crystallization requirements, packaging, and delivery constraints. Then I can help plan and execute the citric acid esterification process, monitor yield, document the batch, and perform available quality checks including physical appearance and burn-test observations. I’m comfortable with chemical process development, esterification reactions, citrate-based compounds, organic synthesis support, process documentation, lab-scale batch planning, safety procedures, and production reporting. Deliverables can include: * Trimethyl Citrate production support * Approx. 5 kg batch target planning * Process photos/videos * Final product photos/videos * Burn-test documentation * Equipment and method notes * Yield and observation report * Safe packaging and handling guidance I’ll focus on safety, documentation, clean process control, and practical quality verification before delivery. Best regards Ankit
