Reactors for high-pressure chemistry applications

The HPR series of reactors has been designed for researchers who are interested in performing pressurised chemical reactions in their laboratories.

The reactors can be used for applications ranging from high-pressure chemical synthesis to process development.

The reactors range in size from 50ml to four litres and can be operated at up to 10,000psi and 350C.

The devices feature a magnetically coupled impeller for optimal mixing.

All high-pressure components are ASME rated and protected by a rupture disc for safe operation.

These laboratory bench-top models are suitable for applications such as catalytic studies, polymerisation, hydrogenation, oxidation, isomerisation and dehydrogenation.

All sizes are supplied as ready-to-use instruments requiring only utility connections prior to operation.

The reactors are compact instruments that are designed to fit easily into a fume hood.

A modular design makes it simple and cost effective to alter their basic configuration to adapt to new or evolving application needs.

All functions are controlled by three integrated Rxtrol processors.

The Rxtrol Sr offers advanced features utilising a microcontroller to perform all PID, ramp/soak, process trending, mixing and interlock functions.

The Rxtrol Jr consists of two temperature sensors (wall/interior mounting) and fuzzy logic PID temperature controls and mixing controls in a tabletop assembly.

The Rxtrol B consists of two temperature sensors (wall/interior mounting) and an open-loop mixer speed control via a 0-100 per cent power output knob.

Additional options include vessel windows (<150C operation only), ports, cooling coils, sample loops, standalone pressure transducers, supercritical fluid pumps and reagent addition modules.
