Catalog excerpts
System Solution: ART® Reactor PR37 Typical reactions: ozonolysis, organometallic reactions, peroxide reactions, hydrogenation, nitration, etc. Based on our experiences with a large number of different customer projects over many years we have come up with several reactor set-ups combining specific reactors from our portfolio with suitable pumps and other peripherals. These equipment combinations have already proven their usefulness in the field for certain types of reactions and are optimized for customer benefit. For the above applications the challenges lie above all in high reaction enthalpies, necessity of good mixing, multi-stage syntheses and the implementation of different temperature zones within one reactor.
