Scale Up of Heterogeneous Reactions in Continuous Flow Systems
29 Apr 2013Many flow techniques are well suited to production at scale and these have been used in the chemical industry for many decades. This application note demonstrates the capabilities of the FlowCAT platform, which was developed on the concept of a bench scale version of an industrial fixed bed reactor, for doing three-phase reactions on the g-kg/day scale in a manner that would be scalable to plant.

FlowCAT
The FlowCAT delivers high pressure flow chemistry in a compact, bench top unit. The flexible design allows screening, optimization and scale-up of both homogenous and heterogeneous chemistry in the same unit, and can incorporate a combination of gas and liquid feeds. Applications include hydrogenation, carbonylation or other high-pressure chemistry. Ability to switch in between applications easily, such as polymerisation, oxidation, carbonylation. Run under fixed-bed, trickle flow conditions, as well as all liquid feeds and homogeneous catalysis. It is also simple to use it in "bubble flow" mode, where the reagents are fed at the bottom of the reactor.
