Chemspeed’s MULTIPLANT/ AUTOPLANT POSY deck modularity allows the user to execute and perform a variety of workflows in a fully or semi-automated fashion.
Olefin polymerizations reactions require the following functionalities:
- Overhead gravimetric dispensing of solids and powders.
- Feeding of highly hazardous and reactive gaseous and liquid monomers.
- Precise temperature control.
- Precise gas pressure control and flow monitoring.
- Homogeneous or heterogeneous catalyst injection under reaction conditions.
- Powerful mixing to accommodate high viscosities.
- Inertization of reactors and workstation.
- Transfer to analytics.
Process development workstation for 6 X 100 mL, 3 X 250 mL, 3 X 1’000 mL
The cutting edge Process Development Workstation Technology allows scientists to truly mimic the final industrial production process and provides all the flexibility to optimize integrated reaction sequences, even if a complex configuration of reactors and feed vessels required.
