RESUME.
The MICROACTIVITY-Reference is an automatic and computerized
laboratory reactor for reactions of catalytic microactivity with
reactor bypass, preheater evaporator, pressure control valve and other
process layouts in hot box, which avoids the possible condensation of
volatile products, at the time that preheats the reactants efficiently.
The MICROACTIVITY-Reference consists of an ATMOSPHERIC
PRESSURE BASIC UNIT and some series of EXTRA PACKAGES that improve or
modify its efficiency. It is a single structure that contains the
electronic unit, control and MFC s system and includes the hot box
where the reactor and process valves are located. The system has local
control and on-line remote control, based on TCP/IP Ethernet
communications with distributed control structure. A complete and
elaborated security system is integrated in microprocessor, independent
of the computer.
For reactions at high pressure that involve separation of gases and liquids, a new system of level control of the condensed liquid is introduced with almost no dead volume (0.3 ml), so that the sample of the liquid outlet is the condensed product mixture formed at the very last minutes of reaction. A wide variety of reactions has been carried out in our reactors: Hydrocracking, Hydrotreating, Isomerization, Hydrogenation, Hydrodesulphurization (HDS), Oxidation, Hydrodenitrogenation (HDN), Polymerization, Reforming (aromatization), steam reforming, etc. Strategic alliances with our customers have induced to some of the most important technological solutions at present for a variety of catalytic processes.
