Multi Reactor (MR) 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

Fully automated and computer-controlled catalyst evaluation units

The Micromeritics Multi Reactor series features highly productive evaluation units for the laboratory that enable scientists to comprehensively measure the activity and selectivity of catalysts for screening and kinetic studies.

The MR series configurations include 4 or 8 independent, parallel catalyst lab reactors that are fully automated, and computer controlled. MR models with additional reactors are available on request.

The series’ versatility allows determining optimal experimental conditions and detecting operational challenges. Furthermore, it allows the comparison of catalysts under the same reaction conditions.

Due to the series’ precise temperature-control and feeding system, reaction and regeneration can be carried in-situ and at consecutives stages.

Key Features

  • Fully automated modular system optimized for catalyst screening and providing reliable test studies
  • Configurable to individual application needs ensures a high level of flexibility
  • Flow reactor design accommodates both, extrudates and powders
  • Inert reactor chamber made of quartz to avoid undesirable side-reactions
  • Gas and optional liquids feeding systems allow the MR-4 and MR-8 to be used for a wide range of applications
  • User-friendly software for defining experimental studies and continuous monitoring of the system
  • Easily integrated with a range of analytics including chromatography and spectroscopy

Automated 4 or 8 Independent, Parallel Lab Reactors in One Unit

Due to its high throughput testing capabilities the highly versatile computer-controlled Micromeritics Multi Catalyst Reactor (MR) series enables scientists to accelerate catalyst research: The Micromeritics MR 4 or MR 8 evaluation units provide capabilities to investigate 120 kinetic data points per week. Researchers can comprehensively measure the activity and selectivity of heterogenous catalysts for screening and kinetic studies.

The automated MR 4 and MR 8 provide operational flexibility for determining optimal reaction conditions and understanding operational challenges for a wide range of applications. Due to the units’ high level of flexibility and gas or optional liquids feeding systems, the MR 4 or MR 8 can be configured to individual application needs: reaction and regeneration, for example, can be carried in-situ and at consecutive stages thanks to the precise temperature-control and feeding system.

The Micromeritics MR 4 or MR 8 are easily integrated with a range of analytics including chromatography and spectroscopy and are operated or monitored via a user-friendly software that makes experimental study definitions easy.
