Catalyst Research Equipment
Traditional methods for catalyst testing and the evaluation of the resultant data can be both ineffective and costly in terms of man hours and feedstock used. Strata's unique and tested technology provides a means for consistent, fast and cost effective catalyst testing and associated data handling, whilst
our design capabilities, compact solutions and wide range of equipment configurations take into the account specific needs and constraints of our customer's chemical processes.
Applications
To enable the testing of catalysts under real process conditions, for a wide range of synthesis reactions e.g. Fischer-Tropsch, alcohols, ethylene oxide etc.
-
To allow process design experimentation using different types of reactor. Strata can provide:
- Fixed bed reactors
- Fluid bed reactors
- Continuously stirred reactors
- Pumped loop slurry reactors
- Bubble Column reactors
In both single pass and recycle configurations.
Key features
Complete catalyst life cycle testing using a PC based control system
-
Multiple heating zones to allow tuning of catalyst bed profiles
-
Feed gases from pure or pre-mixed supplies
-
Options for pumped liquid feeds
-
Single or multiple stage product trapping
-
On-line analysis of feed and product streams, using techniques such as:
- Quantitative Mass Spectroscopy
- Gas Chromatography
- High Pressure Liquid Chromatography
Optional enhancements for sour gas use or in-situ catalyst regeneration.
