FLOOR STANDING, KILO-LAB REACTORS

AutoLAB - Bench & Kilo Scale Reactor Systems www.helgroup.com >> 2

20 litre reactor with floor standing support20 litre reactor with oil circulating jacket and hydraulic lift

AutoLAB is a flexible and expandable system, backed up by over 20 years in reactor design

Pilot Reactors | Floor standing design with choice of support stands| Typical reactor sizes up to 20 litres. Larger custom reactors

available on request| Simple manually controlled vessels| Systems customised for specific applications

(such as hydrogenation, polymerisation, crystallisation etc)| Electrical and oil circulating jackets (and combinations)

to suit wide temperature range


PROCESS OPTIMISATION/CALORIMETRY

HYDROGENATION


Enhanced software plus‘heat flow meter’

Parallel reactors, independently controlled, for hydrogenation

Selection of internalsfor heterogeneouscatalytic reactions

Real-time calorimetry Add to any:| High or low pressure AutoLAB | Designed for development chemists, NO calibration,

or knowledge of calorimetry theory required

On-line calorimetry without the need for any user expertise.Enables more rapid process development and successful scale-up.

Gas liquid reactions under pressure| Liquid and gas dosing | Gas consumption online | Homogenous or heterogeneous catalysis | Single or parallel systems



CRYSTALLISATION

Turbidity for solubility & MSZW

LasenTrackTM for on-line particle sizing

PETROCHEMICAL & POLYMERISATION PROCESSES

Complex Synthesis Reactions| Research scale and complete pilot plants | High viscosity reactions | High temperature and pressure | Batch and continuous processes

CHOOSE YOUR FEATURES


Process Monitoring and Control (and PAT) Range of probes (pH, turbidity, particle sizing, FTIR, NIR, etc.) can bemonitored and fully integrated into the control system.

Feedback control based on these signals is available for both PATapplications and process improvement generally, and can be fullycustomised to your requirements.

Gas measurement Mass flow meters and othermethods for gas consumptionmonitoring. Digital wet gasand “u-tube” method forwet/corrosive vented gas rate monitoring.

Sampling Automated and manual sampling system,including at high pressure and temperature.

Liquid dosing Range of pumps for differentgas and liquid applications.

Powder dosing Gravimetric, fully automated dosingfor free flowing powders. High andlow volume versions available.

Reflux / distillation Manual and computer controlleddistillation – both standard Dean Stark and distillation / reflux controlled versions.
