Plug flow (tubular) reactor
Tubular reactors (incorrectly, “plug flow”) – the simplest continuous reactors. See Daniel Lambden’s overview of the tubular reactors.
Batch or flow manufacturing in chemistry? Problems & opportunities in switching to flow
Dr Sam Adams from Stoli Catalysts discusses why the batch technology dominates, introduce the flow chemistry, and discuss problems & opportunities in switching to flow.
Managing heat transfer in continuous flow at scale
SABRe shows a factor of 1.75 higher throughput in a reaction limited by heat transfer.
Chemical Process Technologies: Continuously Stirred Tank Reactor
A simple overview of a chemical reactor – CSTR
Chemical Process Technologies: Batch Reactor
We overview basic chemical reactor – the batch reactor
Raman Spectroscopy for online analysis: effect of gases, solids, laser power, aquisition time, signal/noise and more….
We investigated Raman spectroscopy for online analysis by monitoring hydrogenation reactions through relative peak intensities, subsequently, determine the concentration of components.
News
IEEA grant for sustainable chemical production
Stoli Chem awarded a grant to scale up continuous flow manufacturing
Best Innovation shortlist
Our SABRe systems were shortlisted as best innovation
Steven’s oxidation with Vapourtec
1.4 kg/day multiphase oxidation obtained integrating SABRe system with Vapourtec’s R-Series
Collaboration with iDMT
Slurry hydrolysis in flow project started with iDMT labs
SABRe is available in Hastelloy
Stainless steel 316L is good in corrosive environments but halogens corrode it quickly. Nickel-based Hastelloy C 276 is much more stable.
The first in-person event in 2 years!
It was great to see so many people and interest in using SABRe.
Vapourtec Collaboration
We are excited to be testing our SABRe system at Vapourtec’s lab yesterday!
