Chemical Reactors and Associated Equipment from Ken Kimble
(Reactor Vessels) Ltd
A full range of reactors from 10ml to 250 litres,
constructed from a variety of materials such as glass, glass lined steel,
stainless steel, Hastelloy, etc.
Pressures up to 12 bar in glass and 350 bar in metal. Temperature ranges from –150 degrees C to
+400 degrees C are achievable.
A full range of ancillary equipment from heater/chillers,
distillation systems, vacuum through to fully computer controlled systems. We can offer a single vessel or a complete
turn key pilot plant. Usually equipment
is built to a customer’s specifications or to solve a particular problem.
Scale Up & Pilot Plant
Glass and glass-lined steel hybrid vessels up to 250 litres
are robust with good heat transfer while still allowing the operator to observe
the contents of the vessel. The use of
the Büchiflex flexible glass joint allows glass overheads, distillation systems
and pipelines to be built with ease. The
flexible joint is vacuum and pressure tight and can be easily reconfigured. This is particularly useful for research
equipment when it is difficult to foresee exactly what the equipment will be
used for in the future. The initial
investment is not wasted as additional components can be added quickly and
simply.
Parallel Synthesis
As well as individual automated reactors, we can
also offer the Flexylab system for parallel synthesis and process
optimisation. A maximum of six 250ml
reactors can all be individually controlled from one PC using one
heater/chiller. This allows much faster
process optimisation. The system
includes two liquid additions, from balances, for each reactor, individual
temperature control and stirrer speed control.
Options include pH, torque, distillation, pressure/vacuum and FTIR.
