Avantium Flowrence XR
The Flowrence XR is a high-throughput nano-flow fixed bed unit allowing the evaluation of solid catalyst's performances under various conditions (CO2/CO hydrogenation, dry reforming of methane, propane ODH, methanol to hydrocarbons...). The unit can be adapted to specific reaction conditions upon request.
The main features of the Flowrence XR are:
- 16 fixed-bed reactors spread equally in four temperature blocks.
- Each reactor contains typically 5 to 500 mg of catalyst.
- 5 different reactive gases and 1 liquid feed can be combined
- Up to 100 bars (at max 500 °C) or 925 °C at atmospheric pressure.
- Fully automated with two online gas chromatographs allowing 24/7 extremely accurate data recording.
Avantium Flowrence XD
The Flowrence XDs are two high-throughput nano-flow fixed bed unit under glove box allowing the evaluation of air/moisture sensitive solid catalyst's performances under various conditions (CO2/CO hydrogenation, dry reforming of methane, propane ODH, methanol to hydrocarbons...). The unit can be adapted to specific reaction conditions upon request.
The main features of the Flowrence XDs are:
- Two individual units with 4 fixed-bed reactors each placed inside a glovebox for evaluating air/moisture sensitive catalysts.
- Each reactor contains typically 5 to 500 mg of catalyst.
- 5 different reactive gases and 1 liquid feed can be combined in each unit.
- Up to 100 bars (at max 500 °C) or 925 °C at atmospheric pressure.
- Fully automated with 1 online gas chromatograp per XD allowing 24/7 extremely accurate data recording.
HEL CAT96
The CAT96 is an automated batch catalyst screening unit that uses a standard MTP of glass vials as reactors. The unit aims at evaluating the catalytic performances of materials under CO/CO2 hydrogenation, hydroformylation, liquid hydrogenation... Other reactions can be adapted upon request.
The main features of the CAT96 are:
- Up to 250 °C and 100 bar
- Automated gas purge, data logging, multi-step recipes, parameter control and feedback loops.
- Can accept standard MTP with vials of various sizes 96*1 ml, 48*2 ml, or 24 *4 ml.
- Magnetic stirring for each reaction vial.
ILS 96x Batch Reactor Unit
The ILS has 96*20ml individual batch reactors to evaluate the performances of conventaional and air-sensitive catalyts for hydrogenation, hydroformylation and other gas/liquid reactions. It is dividied into 2 blocks of 48 reactors, each block having independant temperature and pressure control (up to180C and 100bars). The vials can be prepared with a seperated robotic unit, combining solid catalysts and liquid reactants / solvents and barcode tracking.
