The Process
Intensification (PI) design philosophy aims to provide chemical
processes with precisely the right conditions for chemical reactions
to proceed at their optimal rate. FlexPlant is a laboratory-scale,
semi-continuous facility, available for purchase or hire, which
can be used for early stage, new product development, or to assess
existing processes. Users can check for PI feasibility, and gain
greater understanding and confidence in PI technology. FlexPlant
utilises BHRSolutions' award-winning FlexReactor.
Benefits
FlexPlant
enables reactions between two liquid streams to be carried out
semi-continously through a PI reactor. Feeds can be heated (or
cooled) so that reaction temperature can be higher (or lower)
than the storage temperature. The FlexReactor provides
a highly effective reaction environment, removing reaction heat
as it is formed. The product stream can be cooled (or heated up)
before return to the storage vessels.
