DESCRIPTION

Experimental studies regarding chemical reactions and processes involving chemical reactions. Our capabilities include catalytic and homogeneous reactions; gas phase, liquid phase and gas/liquid reactions; activity, selectivity and stability of catalysts; catalyst deactivation; sensitivity analysis; study and optimization of operating conditions (temperature, pressure, residence time, inhibitors effect), estimation of life-time of catalysts.

AVAILABLE EQUIPMENT:

• Berty catalytic reactor (T_max=550ºC, P_max=200 bar).
• Automatized batch reactor (glass, V=4L).
• SS batch reactors (V=1 L y V=0.6 L, P_max=30 bar).
• Pilot-scale batch reactors (SS-glass, T_max=200ºC, P_max=10 bar / SS, T_max=250ºC, P_max=10 bar).
• High pressure trickle bed reactor (T_max=250ºC, P_max=50 bar).
• SS catalytic tubular reactor (T_max=250ºC, P_max=50 bar).
