A standard, high pressure,
high temperature, laboratory, continuous flow reactor. Kuentzel closure
tube reactors can be incorporated into Automated Chemical Reactor Systems
to simulate complex industrial catalyzed chemistry processes in bench-scale
equipment. High pressure Kuentzel plug flow reactors are similar to "Cone
Closure" except the Kuentzel tubular reactors are a larger & more
versatile research apparatus (more special order options) at a
lower pressure rating than the Cone Closure.
Vessels designed for high temperature/high pressure, batch type chemical reactions.
Kuentzel (Tube) Fixed Bed Reactors: Pressure Vessels High
flow tube reactor with 1" (25.4 mm) ID for fixed bed catalyst research
FEATURES
Pressure ratings
up to 11,000 psig (758 bar) & temperature ratings up to 1,202°F (650°C) is suitable for many applications
316SS is standard
for Kuentzel packed bed reactors; other chemical / petrochemical resistant
alloys are available
Capacity range (103 to 193 cm3) with 1" (25.4 mm) ID
is sized for laboratory use as a thermocatalytic reactor with formed
catalysts
Simple (low
part count) design with replaceable metal gaskets offers reliable
sealing with reasonable cost & indefinite service life
Replaceable, porous
metal filters (press fit) can be special ordered; isolating experimental
materials in the flow through
Custom order multiple
thermocouple & process connections in the Kuentzel reactor wall for
sensors & adding/ taking material
ASME code stamp
option assures best practice in material, design & fabrication for "built-in"
safety with high pressure equipment
Metal-to-metal
seals (including AE coned-and-threaded process connections) is
temperature & corrosion resistant
Kuentzel, laminar
flow reactors come in custom lengths for long contact time in high pressure
& high temperature processes
Obtain expert,
custom equipment advice from the manufacturer & ongoing support from
the local, factory approved supplier
BENEFITS
Kuentzel closures maintain a
leak-free seal even 1) when the reactor contains hard-to-seal gases
like hydrogen & 2) when the closure is stressed by cyclic change
in temperature & pressure. The Kuentzel reactor size range is convenient
for large-scale experimental processes. The flow through reactor is easy
to open, fill & re-seal with suitable fixtures & tools. The versatile
steady flow reactor design can be used as a trickle bed reactor.
