MULTIPLANT AUTOPLANT POSY workstation for automated polymer synthesis

Assembly of a process research reactor with our unique screwless and self-sealing design up to 100 bar

Process Research Reactor Assembly

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.
