Industrial ammonia cracking experiments require operation under elevated temperatures and pressures, which imposes strict requirements on reactor design, feed composition, and data reliability & reproducibility.

At elevated temperatures, metal surfaces exposed to ammonia can introduce parasitic activity, while trace moisture, often added during ammonia storage to mitigate Stress corrosion cracking can strongly influence catalyst performance.

Our Flowrence® systems integrates patented tube-in-tube (reactor in reactor) design that addresses these challenges while maintaining thermodynamic and kinetic fidelity:

• A pressure‑bearing metal outer reactor enables safe operation at industrially relevant conditions
• A quartz reactor tube fully isolates the catalyst from metal surfaces
• This enables nearly zero blank activity at high temperature
• While maintaining excellent temperature control and fast heat transfer

For sensitive ammonia cracking and poisoning studies, Flowrence® further enables:

• In‑situ feed drying to remove moisture prior to reaction
• Accurate re‑dosing of water to simulate controlled catalyst poisoning
• Proven online GC analytics and stable liquid pumping with immediate evaporation at the reactor inlet

Ammonia catalyst testing is a perfect fit for the Flowrence platform:

• Flowrence® XD (4 reactors) and Flowrence® XR (16 reactors) for parallel catalyst comparison
• Inherently safe operation with small‑scale reactors and minimal holdup
• Smallest footprint in the industry, with strong ammonia containment
• No customized ammonia storage required
• Easy to combine ammonia synthesis and cracking/reforming studies in one system
