Industrial gases such as O2 , H2 , CO and CO2 are widely used for synthetic processes in the chemical industry. We have designed a modular, multifunctional stirred reactor test plant (CSTR) for the investigation of a large number of homogeneous gas/liquid reactions. This test plant is perfectly suited for the verification of preliminary laboratory results as well as the scale-up to medium-size or large technical plants.
Gaseous oxygen is used in many gas/liquid oxidations. For example in the production of hydroperoxides, the oxidative decarboxylations or oxidation of toluene derivatives.
As a rule two oxygen applications could be considered for oxidation processes:
- Oxygen enrichment of oxidation air
- Total substitution of air by oxygen
The benefits can be:
- Increased throughput and selectivity
- Same conversion rate at lower temperatures
- Savings in total operating costs
Our service options:
- Feasibility and profitability studies
- Test runs with our stirred reactor test plant
- Process calculations to evaluate the effects
- Supply and installation of gas mixing units
- Installation and start-up of oxygen supply systems
