Process Intensification - Products and Services

BHRSolutions has used its 60 staff years of experience in PI to create an integrated set of services and products to help its customers to realise the benefits. These cover the entire business cycle, from initial process development to product delivery, in a full 'Test Tube to Customer Approach.'

PI Audit
The PI audit is the key to successful intensification. This initial study will rapidly tell you whether your process is suitable for intensification, how it might be done and what the benefits are.

PI Measurement Services
Application of PI often requires measurement of more process information (e.g. kinetics). BHR Group can design simple laboratory tests and help interpret the results. These might be carried out by you, us or through our partners.

PI Design Services
Once PI feasibility has been established, it is usual to consider what the design of a PI plant would look like. In this phase a basic P&ID will be produced, together with recommendations on what laboratory and/or pilot trials might be needed. Often improvements to the process chemistry come out at this stage.

PI Training Courses
BHR Group runs training courses on PI technology in conjuction with Cranfield University, UK

Laboratory and Pilot Plant
BHR Group can supply laboratory or pilot scale PI reactors and miniplant. The units are highly flexible, and can cover a very wide range of processes and conditions. Units are available for rental or supply, backed by full applications support.

Protocol Vessel
BHR Group's "Protocol Vessel" - fully engineered in a range of materials - is a small highly stirred vessel which can provide mixing conditions equivalent to those in a PI reactor.

Through extensive research at BHR Group, the performance of the vessel has been fully characterised and models developed allowing process development chemists to apply the results directly to PI system design. This provides a low-cost method of testing and characterising reactions before implementing PI processes.

Importantly, the vessels always come with a full training and support package to help users get the most out of the equipment!

FlexReactor
BHR Group's award-winning FlexReactor packages simple but effective PI technology into a highly reconfigurable package, making it the PI reactor of choice for the higher added value chemicals sector where flexible manufacturing is key. FlexReactor can either be supplied on its own or as part of a mini FlexPlant.

Marbond™ HEX Reactor
If very high heat transfer capability is required and flexibility is not an issue, then the MarbondHEX Reactor, developed in collaboration with Chart Heat Exchangers LP, may be the optimum PI reactor.

Scale Up
As well as providing its expertise in PI scale up, BHR Group and its strategic partners can provide turnkey solutions for flexible, transportable or fixed PI Plant.
