Syrris, a specialist in chemistry automation products, has launched the Atlas Potassium Pressure System, a modular 3-bar pressure reactor.
The easy-to-use system can be controlled automatically or manually, and can be supplied with glass vessels ranging from 100ml to three litres, which can be changed in less than one minute.
The Atlas Potassium Pressure System is designed for applications where elevated pressures are required.
It is said to be ideal for protocols requiring hydrogenation, carbonylation, and so on.
The basic system offers overhead stirring and a temperature range of -80C to +200C and provides automatic temperature and stirrer control, as well as pressure sensing.
In addition, PED/ASME compliance, a burst disc, and pressure relief valve make the system extremely safe, according to Syrris.
Modes of operation include: manual pressure control; automatic pressure maintenance; pressure control with mass flow monitoring; mass flow control; and off-gas monitoring.
Control via the Atlas base can be manual or automated, enabling the simple logging of all data to a .CSV file, which is downloadable to a USB stick.
In addition, optional PC control offers advanced functionality, including the complete automation of all parameters, alarms and real-time graphs.
