Parallel Pressure Reactor Systems

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.

Essenton designs and builds custom parallel reactor and multiple reactor systems for use in high-throughput screening, combinatorial chemistry, corrosion testing, and catalyst testing.

These systems are based on our wide range of reactor systems and feature overhead magnetic drive stirrers. Please kindly feel free to contact our Customer Service Department for details and proposals for custom parallel reactor systems.

Multi position parallel reactor is an upgraded and integrated product of the basic model, which greatly saves laboratory space resources. This reactor is mainly used in laboratory parallel test, constant variable comparative analysis test, etc. Because of the experimental conditions, parallel reactors can be divided into two modes: simultaneous temperature control and independent temperature control. In addition, the volume, mixing form, work number, structural form, control mode, function configuration, etc. of the reactor can be combined freely according to the actual needs.

Modular Hardware

2 - 16 Reactors systems are available

Individual or parallel operation settings for each reactor (temperature, other)

Configurable hardware: from Basic to complete setup including dosing

Automated sampling

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

2 - 16 pressurized reaction vessels in its individual heating / cooling blocks can be controlled in the PPR system. The system is expandable, starting at 2 reactors.Reactor block with individual heating / cooling

Lift for Reactor block lifting / lowering

Individual temperature control

Reactor with safety fast action closure

Stirrer drive with powerful magnetic coupling (75 Ncm torque)

Continuous adjustable agitator speed, 0-2500 rpm

Safety rupture disc

Pt100 sensor

Cover with 6 opening (for Pt100, dip tube, valves etc.)

Optional burette, catalyst basket, gassing stirrer etc.

Optional liquid dosing via balance (at up to 275 bar)

Optional liquid dosing, SS316 pr PEEK corrosion resistant metering pump, flow rates 0 to 100 ml/min

The software is user-friendly. Every single process step can be followed on the graphic display. It is compliant, data can be exported. Multiple safety features guarantee safe process procedures. Operation mode can be chosen from manually to fully automated, depending on installed hardware.

Control parameters are: Reaction pressure, temperature, gas, liquid flow, gas consumption, stirrer speed, safety limits etc.

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

Setting up Recipes: Drag & Drop Editor, Receipe Modification "On the Fly" , Function as if...then...else Logic, Loop, Jump Back to Phase...

Graphic Display

Contamination free

Up to 4 samples of each reactor

Automated (recipe) or manually controlled

Sampling shown live in graphic display

Hydrogenations in parallel

Catalyst testing in parallel

Process development, scale up studies

Carbonylation by CO / Carboxylation by CO2

Decarboxylation

Friedel-Crafts-Acylation

Ethoxylatons (optional)

General gas reactions at constant flow (CO, CO2, Ehtylen, O2, NO)

Design of experiment (DoE)

Quality by Design (QbD)

Because the experimental conditions need to be divided into two modes: isothermal and independent temperature control

Two Reactor Parallel System

Three Reactor Parallel System

This system incorporates three Custom Volume High Pressure/ High Temperature reactors rated for use at 5000 psi (345 bar) @ 500 °C. The reactors in this system are manufactured of Alloy C-276 and are equipped with internal coupon holders to facilitate study of corrosion processes in harsh environments. This particular application does not require precisely controlled gas delivery, so individual gas feed vessels are not present. However, gas supply and gas vent manifolds are provided.
