Pilot Reactor

Pilot Reactors

Pilot and production pressure reactor

Model No: EPR-200mL to 5000mL

Pressure reactor for kilo labs and small-scale production

Reactor volume: 20 to 500 liter

Pressure: -1 (FV) to +200 bar

Temperature: -20 °C to +300 °C

Material: stainless steel, Hastelloy®

Other materials, pressures & temperatures are available

Essenton Pilot Plants are built for pressure reactions as well as for reactions under full vacuum. Different technologies and materials are used, depending on the requested process and process media.


Pilotclave pressure reactors range from 50 - 500 liter and are all customized. To quote such systems we require detailed specifications. Safety is important with such larger scale systems, especially when doing hydrogenations and other reactions under higher pressure. The degree of automation and process control vary from simple data collection to complete automation of the system. In most cases, the reaction vessels are jacketed steel or Hastelloy® reactors.


The pilotclave pressure reactors are used for scale up and smaller productions in pilot plants and kilo labs.


A URS (User Requirement Specification) and PID are very important for basic and detail engineering and the success of such projects and plants.

Depending on the stirring or mixing task, Essenton reactors can be equipped with stirrers of different types.

For gas entrainment as in hydrogenations, the Rushton type turbine stirrer is often used.


2, Bottom valves, needle valves, ball valves

Compact bottom valves, high pressure needle valves, ball valves


Bottom valves, other valves

Bottom outlet valves for pressure reactors

Bottom outlet valves

Inner diameter: DN3 - DN25

Temperature: 350 °C

Pressure: 350 / 500 bar - 5000 / 7000 psi

Essenton bottom valves are very compact, available for different operating conditions and functions. Solenoid bottom valves with a pneumatic actuator are used for automated opening / closing with signal feedback of the status.


Needle valves, ball valves

Needle valves and ball valves for low and high pressures are installed on the reactor head as needed. Solenoid needle and ball valves with pneumatic actuators are used for automated opening / closing with signal feedback of the status.


3, Catalyst baskets

Catalyst testing and screening in pressure reactors


Catalyst testing, catalyst screening

Catalyst testing covers several types of research such as catalyst effectiveness, yield, activation, lifetime and regeneration.

The type of catalyst baskets varies depending on the catalyst being used, the interaction with the chemistry, the temperature, the pressure and the number of catalysts in the basket. Exposure to the reactants can be done through a stationary catalyst bed or a spinning basket.

Our special accessories offer solutions for more complex problems in pressure reactions in the field of catalyst research.

Probes for process control

Probes are available to measure the different process parameters. These values can be displayed on our monitoring instrument and recorded in our bls software.

Frequently measured parameters are:

temperature

pressure

stirrer speed

torque

pH

IR probes, probes to control particle sizes etc. from other suppliers can be integrated into our pressure reactors or stirred autoclaves.


7, Reflux distillation, condenser, heat exchanger

Reflux condenser, heat exchanger, distillation setups

Condensers / heat exchangers

Complete setups for reflux distillation under vacuum and pressure

If very fast heating or cooling is required, an internal heat exchanger can  be installed.

For distillation under pressure and under vacuum, complete setups in glass or metal can be attached to the reactor head, including column, reflux condenser, receiver.
