Catalyst screening and Hydrogenations in reduced time, reproducible and safe: These were the key issues for our customer in chemical research, asking us to develop this system.
This parallel pressure reactor system is configurable and modular, allowing for individual or parallel operation settings of each reactor. This system uses automated process control enabling fast process development and parallel reaction screening in a reproducible and safe manner.
Multiple safety features guarantee safe hydrogenations and other processes.
Modular Hardware
- 2 – 6 Reactors PPR systems are available
- Individual or parallel operation settings for each reactor (temperature, other)
- Configurable hardware: from Basic to complete setup including dosing
- Automated sampling
Operation modes
- Manual: The software controls the reactor hardware, data logging of process data
- Automated: Low to high degree (full process automation including dosing of gas, liquids)
- For full automation, a recipe editor is included in the software to edit existing settings and to define completely new processes.
- Multiple safety features guarantee safe hydrogenations and other processes
Available single automation steps:
- Inert gas purging
- Leakage control
- Gas purging (nitrogen / active gas)
- Reaction control mode constant-flow
- Reaction control mode constant reaction pressure
- Etc.
End criteria to stop a hydrogenation:
- Total gas consumption
- Minimal gas flow
- Time over event controlled
Automated sampling:
- Contamination free
- Up to 4 samples of each reactor
- Automated (recipe) or manually controlled
- Sampling shown live in graphic display
Automated sampling:
