The design creates
high circulation pressure & high mass transfer with low-density gas. A
8" (200 mm) vane blower @ 2,500 rpm moves the gas past a stationary
catalyst bed. Optional plating deactivates the reactor's surfaces. The
laboratory, multiphase reactor design is used for time based, high temperature
& high pressure heterogeneous catalysis experiments with gas / solid phase
reactants. Use internal recycle reactors & study catalysts for their activity,
durability & regeneration processes
A full range of apparatus used for catalyst research.
Caldwell Catalyst Testing Reactor : Catalyst Testing Reactors
Low density gas/vapor recycling flow supported catalyst research tool
FEATURES
Pressure rating
800 psig (55 bar)
Temperature rating
950° F (510°C)
316SS is standard;
other chemical / petrochemical resistant alloys are offered. (e.g.
HASTELLOY® C-276)
The design conforms
to the ASME Boiler & Pressure Vessel Code Section VIII Division 1: An
ASME code stamp is optional
The vane blower
is spun by a 2,500 rpm MagneDrive® magnetic drive that
eliminates dynamic seals for worry free recycling
Retain the solid
catalyst in a stationary, woven wire mesh basket to allow gas / vapor
circulation with low pressure drop
Optional process
control instrumentation measures & controls temperature, blower speed
& pressure
Obtain expert,
catalytic equipment advice from the manufacturer & ongoing support from
the local, factory approved supplier
High pressure reactor
equipment is delivered custom configured & after full functional testing
for fast & easy start-up
Reactor repair
parts are offered indefinitely to achieve the unlimited service life
of the seamless design
BENEFITS
The Caldwell corrosion resistant
gradientless reactor is designed to circulate a low density or low partial
pressure gas / vapor phase past a solid phase heterogeneous catalyst.
The Caldwell reactor is a laboratory apparatus that can be used for diverse
supported & selective catalyst research including catalyst screening,
catalyst characterization, & surface chemistry studies. The leak-free
metal gasket design provides bench-scale catalytic synthesis capability
for scientific experimentation.
