Dual-purpose unit for the TU-Berlin
A tailormade solution for the high-temperature oxidative coupling of methane
A a unique dual-purpose unit for catalyst testing capability and kinetic testing
ILS split the unit into two halves with one, 6-parallel small-scale high-throughput testing section for testing ca 100-300mg of powdered catalyst on one side. All reactors have the same gas composition and feed flowrates with individual temperatures. The 2nd side has two, larger-scale reactors for kinetic testing on 1-3g catalyst samples. As kinetic testing requires much more parameter variation, the kinetic testing reactors can operated at different flowrates and compositions and have 3-zone ovens to provide excellent isothermicity. Each side has its own online GC and is fully automated.
A unit which perfectly meets our clients needs and has generated high quality data
Prof. Dr. Reinhard Schomäcker, University of Berlin:
“It wasn’t possible to find existing equipment which could screen catalysts up to 800 degrees Celsius, or use a natural light source as a photoreactor. ILS took an open mind to solve these technical challenges using their deep experience from the many custom designs they’ve completed. They didn’t need to rely on existing standards so the unit was exactly tailored to the chemistry. The open dialogue we have helps me to completely trust them. The unit perfectly meets our needs, and has generated high quality data which we’ve successfully published.”
