Oxidation catalyst testing lab
Accelerate catalyst development with dedicated high-throughput testing lab
A dedicated lab setup for selective oxidation catalyst testing
64 and 32 parallel reactors units positioned as complementary selective oxidation platforms. One supports high-parallel screening and the other supports long-term testing, control-intensive studies such as deactivation work.
High-throughput screening
- 64 parallel reactors in a 4×16 configuration.
- 4 blocks of 16 reactors per block (temperature control per block)
- Reactors size: 150 mm L, 3mm OD, 2.6mm ID)
- Temperature: 80 – 550°C
- Pressure: 0.5 – 80 barg
- Active pressure control
- Two GCs operating in parallel
Purpose-built testing environment
- Units placed in restricted-access Lab.
- Shared detection and monitoring infrastructure
- Suitable for deactivation studies and applicable for toxic chemistries.
Advanced studies and deactivation
- 32 parallel reactors in an 8×4 configuration.
- Suitable for deactivation studies and applicable for toxic chemistries.
- Individual gas feed promotor control per reactor (to steer conversion/selectivity) (Ethylene equal to all reactors)
- Long reactor geometry with individual temperature control and active pressure control
- Reactor size: 561mm L, 3mm OD, 2/2.6mm ID
- Temperature: 80 – 500°C
- Pressure: 0.5 – 80 barg
- One GC with feedback control loop (T and individual feed concentration)
Workflow and data
- Established maintenance plans, calibration, historian/database capture, and reporting routines.
- High data quality and consistent long-term performance evaluation.
