PTT has been using the Atlas lab scale chemistry reactor to simplify the production of catalysts for polyolefins.
Supabhorn Khaubunsongserm, a researcher in the process technology research department, explained: “We synthesise catalysts for the production of polyolefins such as polyethylene and polypropylene, and test the polymerisation in slurry and gas phase processes.”
To help with this work, the group has invested in Atlas modular products, which they claim are adaptable and can form a wide range of chemical reactors.
“We run two Atlas 3 bar reactor systems in parallel, and can quickly and easily configure the reactors for advanced applications such as calorimetry and crystallisation control,” added Khaubunsongserm.
The whole system is controlled by the Atlas Parallel Software, which automatically detects which apparatus is connected.
