You can create a noise filter in Neat Image and save that for the 
film/developer/scanner combination. With Neat Image used in Photoshop 
there are batch functions possible with actions. I have not checked that 
for the stand alone version.

BTW I never take out all the grain as it shows artefacts that I like 
less. There is no issue with the scan detail and sharpness but the 
camera and lenses used (MF folders mainly, older SLRs) need some 
sharpening so it gets harder to separate signal from noise in my case.
