System Solution: Miprowa® Matrix Typical reactions : ethoxylation, peroxide reactions, diazotization, 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 applications like ethoxylations, peroxide reactions, diazitizations and nitrations the challenges lie in very high reaction enthalpies, and process safety due to the chemicals involved. The Matrix reactor is the scale-up of the Miprowa® Lab to production. It uses the same structures as the production reactor. Example: Nitration

Our Process Development Team say: The Matrix reactor uses the same channel geometry as the production reactors. Small reactor volumes allow for high pressures and temperatures. Consider corrosion in the case of nitrations. Fast screening of reaction parameters because residence times are short. Fast implementation of DOEs. The feed of the reactants is of critical importance. Reliable pumps are the key to success.
