High Throughput BTX Isomerization

Methanol synthesis is one of the most important bulk chemical processes in the world. The very first two 16-parallel high-throughput fixed-bed units were made by ILS for Clariant nearly 12 years ago.
The task

ILS was approached by a new client interested in obtaining a 16-parallel methanol synthesis unit.

The unit was not intended for catalyst screening but for kinetic testing and comparing catalyst of very similar catalyst performance for “fine tuning” work. This placed extremely high requirements on the reactor performance. For this reason it was chosen to commission the reactor with real catalyst from the client prior to delivery.
The result

The project was successfully executed with a 2-month validation test frame where all problems could be resolved at ILS.

In particular issues with the micro-GC software control could be solved at ILS that would have otherwise been much difficult to resolve on the client’s site.
