Flow Reactor (FR) System

Advanced System for measurement of catalytic activity

  • The standard unit can be adapted for different catalytic tests through different configurations and options.
  • Real time results with very high level of accuracy and reproducibility
  • Programming of series of experiment with data acquisition and graphics capabilities

Description

Succeeding the Micromeritics Microactivity Effi, this series of Micromeritics Flow Reactors (FR) features highly advanced modular laboratory screening units for measuring the activity and selectivity of catalysts. The Micromeritics FR-50, FR-100 and FR-200 have been developed to help save time and resources during catalyst development and screening.

Each model accommodates a wide variety of reactions including but not limited to hydrocracking, hydrotreating, isomerization, hydrogenation, hydrodesulphurization (HDS), oxidation, hydrodenitrogenation (HDN), reforming (aromatization), GTL (Fischer-Tropsch), and steam reforming. These benchtop reactors are also ideal for research studies on topics such as biofuels, methane activation or sustainable reactions.

Key Features

  • Fully configurable to the user’s catalytic testing needs with a variety of configurations and options
  • Small footprint saves expensive lab space and optionally allows installation within a fume hood
  • Automated routines minimize user errors and reduce test time
  • Equipped with embedded control featuring multiple temperature and pressure sensors for monitoring and controlling reaction studies
  • Expandable for future needs, e.g. detectors or optional accessories (e.g. GC/MS, additional gas and liquid feeds, Liquid Liquid Gas (LLG) separator, others upon request) that protects your investment
  • Integrated safety system can be used in automatic and autonomous mode to protect lab staff and instrument. The safety system ensures that both, the user and the instrument is protected.
  • Pressure control to perform experiments at commercially relevant conditions

Configurable Activity and Selectivity Testing in a Small Footprint

Key Features:

  • Customizable to the user’s catalytic testing needs with a variety of configurations and options
  • Small footprint saves expensive lab space and optionally allows installation within a fume hood
  • Automated routines minimize user errors and reduce test time – and can be monitored remotely
  • Equipped with embedded control featuring multiple temperature and pressure sensors for monitoring and controlling reaction studies
  • Expandable for future needs, eg. detectors or optional accessories (e.g. GC/MS, additional gas and liquid feeds.
  • Liquid-Liquid Gas (LLG) separator, upon request) that protects your investment
  • Integrated safety system can be used in automatic and autonomous mode to protect lab staff a and unit
  • Pressure control to perform experiments at commercially relevant conditions

With regard to measuring catalytic activity and selectivity, catalyst screening, study of operation conditions, reaction kinetic and reaction-regeneration cycles, the Micromeritics FR series features three models:

  • Micromeritics Flow Reactor FR 50: Compact basic semi-automated catalyst testing unit, upgradable standard options at any time.
  • Micromeritics Flow Reactor FR 100: Advanced modular and fully automated laboratory system, upgradable with standard and customized non-standard options.
  • Micromeritics Flow Reactor FR 200: Dual-reactor system that may be configured to perform reaction studies in series or parallel.

Fully Automated and Controlled Catalyst Screening Units for the Laboratory

With its highly advanced modular laboratory screening models Micromeritics Flow Reactors (FR) 50, FR 100, and FR 200 a wide variety of reactions can be accommodated including but not limited to hydrocracking, hydrotreating, isomerization, hydrogenation, hydrodesulphurization (HDS), oxidation, hydrodenitrogenation (HDN), reforming (aromatization), GTL (Fischer-Tropsch), and steam reforming. These benchtop reactors are also ideal for research studies on topics such as biofuels, methane activation, and sustainable reactions and bring commercially relevant conditions for catalyst research into the lab.

The FR series’ compact design saves valuable lab space and can be optionally installed within a fume hood. Highly accurate and reliable reaction studies are ensured by embedded temperature and pressure control sensors along with automated routines that can be easily customized for a variety of applications. The powerful, safe, and flexible platform for bench-scale reactors has been built with the future in mind and includes options to interface with LC, GC, FTIR and MS systems; and expansion options for additional gas and liquid feeds, or a Liquid Liquid Gas (LLG) separator.
