Product catalog summary
Introduction
Parr Instrument Company has been designing and building quality pressure apparatus for over 120 years, focusing on bio-fuels and alternative fuels research systems. Their specialty systems embody innovation, offering solutions for biomass decomposition and various chemical reactions.

Specifications and Systems
Parr manufactures non-stirred vessels for biomass decomposition in ammonia and steam. They also offer stirred reactors, including new horizontal reactor technology, for processes like hydrogenation, isomerization, and metathesis reactions. A customizable continuous-flow tubular reactor system is available, featuring continuous reactant feed and product handling capabilities.

Pilot Scale Plant
The pilot scale plant is designed for hydrogenating feedstock from proprietary fermentation processes. It consists of five major subsystems: gas and liquid feed system, jacketed tubular reactor module, product recovery and backpressure control, auto-sampler, and a Parr® 4871 Control System. The system is fully automated with an auto-sampling subsystem for monitoring product quality.

Continuous Flow Systems
Parr tubular reactors support continuous reactant feed, various pre-heat and heating options, sample collection systems, and product handling. Automation and data collection options are available. More information can be found in the 5400 Continuous Flow Tubular Reactors section on their website.

Horizontal Reactor Technology
The horizontal reactor system, available in large capacities, allows for vertical or horizontal stirring. It features pneumatic controls for tilting, a heavy-duty stirring motor, and double anchor stirrers. The system can reach temperatures up to 350 °C and pressures up to 1900 psig, monitored by a 4848 Controller.

Conclusion
Parr Instrument Company continues to innovate in the field of bio-fuels and alternative fuels research, providing advanced systems for efficient and effective research and production processes.
