FlowCAT

HEL FlowCAT Flow Chemistry catalytic Reactions Unit is a fixed-bed continuous flow reactor for catalytic and thermal conversions. The FlowCAT is a high pressure continuous flow reactor which can be applied for both homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysis and can be incorporated a combination of gas and liquid reactants under pressure or even down to atmospheric pressure.

Specifications:

• Internal diameter of reactor: 12mm
• Length of reactor: 15cm
• Maximum pressure of reactor: 100bar
• Maximum temperature of reactor: 350oC

• Two gas feeds with two independent mass flow controller (MFC)
• Two liquid feeds with two independent high pressure HPLC totally automated pump with 150bar and flow up to 40ml/minute

Applications:

• Biofuel research
• Fisher-Tropsch synthesis
• Oxidation
• Hydrogenation

Software:

• WinISO proprietary HEL control software with real-time graphical and tabular display of data as well as recording and alarming

Notes to users:

First-time users must be trained by equipment-in-charge before they can use the instrument independently.
