Benefits

Powerful advantages

Each reactor with its own set of conditions - individually controlled tank reactors (reactor volumes 100, 240, 1’000 mL total volume) with precise, continuous feeds.

 

  • Up to 12 / 24 olefin polymerizations per run on an AUTOPLANT, up to 6 per run on a semi-automated MULTIPLANT.
  • Catalyst injection chamber for solid, slurry, liquid catalyst injection at reaction conditions
  • Independent control of all process parameters in each reactor with PAT like temperature, pressure, NIR, PSD, GC-MS.
  • Independent, precise temperature and stirring control in each reactor (e.g. 130°C temperature difference between adjacent reactors, with active cooling >>130°C).
  • Internal and / or jacket temperature control.
  • Multiple independent gas, liquefied gas and liquid feeds per reactor.
  • Gravimetric solid and viscous liquid dispensing.
  • 4-Needle Head for volumetric liquid handling and sampling.
  • Feeding and sampling under reaction conditions.
  • Cleaning in place (e.g. automated cleaning, inserts).
  • Integration with / in MBraun double glove-box.
  • AUTOSUITE SOFTWARE - drag & drop experimentation with easy interface (e.g. python custom device) to e.g. LIMS, ELN, data analysis, AI / ML closed loop.
