Benefits

• The analysis pressure range is from atmospheric pressure to 100bar, 200 bar optional
• The system versatility enables operation in this range without the need to adjust the pressure control valve
• Control of reaction temperature is possible between ambient and 1100 °C with the use of special material reactors
• The latest advancement in studying catalytic reactions is the high-pressure liquid-gas or liquid-liquid gas separator for studying catalytic reactions
• Small footprint saves expensive lab space and optionally allows installation within a fume hood
• Automated routines minimise user errors and reduce test time
• Expandable for future needs, e.g. detectors or optional accessories (e.g. GC/MS, additional gas and liquid feeds, Liquid Liquid Gas (LLG) separator, others upon request) that protects your investment

Applications

• Fischer-Tropsch synthesis – liquid hydrocarbons and wax

Liquid fuels and other chemical products can be produced from syngas (a mixture of hydrogen and carbon monoxide) via the well-known and catalytic chemical process called Fischer-Tropsch (FT) synthesis.

• Ammonia synthesis/ decomposition

The Haber-Bosch process is an artificial nitrogen fixation process and is the main industrial procedure for the production of ammonia today.

• Methanol synthesis and higher alcohols

One route to produce methanol is characterisaed by the addition of carbon dioxide to hydrogen.

• Steam/ Dry reforming 

Steam methane reforming (SMR) is a process in which natural gas is heated with steam to produce a mixture of carbon monoxide and hydrogen used in organic synthesis.

• Sabatier process – methane production

Sabatier process produces methane and water from a reaction of hydrogen with carbon dioxide at elevated temperatures.

• Hydrogenation and dehydrogenation

Hydrogenation is a chemical reaction between hydrogen and another compound usually in the presence of a catalyst.
