The Micromeritics Flow Reactor system is a benchtop turn-key flow reactor that provides:
A full range of process conditions
A system that is quick to deploy and simple to use
De-risk your scale-up and shorten your development schedule with the Flow Reactor system that matches your process.
Thermostated environmental chamber provides a stable isothermal process zone to eliminate condensation of vapors and provide long-term process stability.
Interchangeable reactors enable processes up to 1000 °C and 200 bar in materials that are suitable for a wide variety of reaction chemistries and low bed volume, simplifying the transition from bench- to flow reactor.
Independently-controlled reactor furnaces (FR-100: single, FR-200: dual) provide stable, uniform temperature control up to 1000 °C.
Liquid feed can be controlled through HPLC or syringe pumps for precise input flow control.
Touchscreen: the large full-color touchscreen provides a simple, real-time status display and modification of system settings.
Six gas inlets: Up to six gas inlets with precision mass flow controllers provide complete flexibility and control of process inputs.
Patented liquid-gas and liquid-gas separators provide effective product separation, less than 1 cc dead volume, and continuous output flow without accumulation (US Pat 7,895,891 B2).
Automatic six port valves for different flow paths such as reactor bypass or upflow/downflow operation.
Patented pressure-control valve provides stable control with a unique combination of wide dynamic range, high resolution, and ultra-low dead volume for any stream type. Features include ambient to 200 bar, 0.1 bar control resolution, and gas, liquid, or multiphase streams.
The FR-200 includes all the capabilities of the FR-100 with two independently-controlled reactors. Three available configurations of the FR-200 enable reactor flows of increasing complexity to mimic even the most intricate reactor process flows.
Due to its high throughput testing capabilities, the versatile computer-controlled Micromeritics Multi Catalyst Reactor (MR) series enables scientists to accelerate catalyst research: The Micromeritics MR 4 or MR 8 evaluation units provide capabilities to investigate 120 kinetic data points per week. Researchers can comprehensively measure the activity and selectivity of heterogeneous catalysts for screening and kinetic studies.
The automated MR 4 and MR 8 provide operational flexibility for determining optimal reaction conditions and understanding operational challenges for a wide range of applications. Due to the units’ high level of flexibility and gas or optional liquids feeding systems, the MR 4 or MR 8 can be configured to individual application needs: reaction and regeneration, for example, can be carried in-situ and at consecutive stages thanks to the precise temperature-control and feeding system.
The Micromeritics MR 4 or MR 8 are easily integrated with a range of analytics including chromatography and spectroscopy and are operated or monitored via a user-friendly software that makes experimental study definitions easy.
Save time and resources during screening. Key Features:
The high-productivity catalyst evaluation units are available in multiple configurations:
MR 4 and MR 8 multi-catalyst reactors support the following studies

Liquid hydrocarbons & wax: liquid fuels and other chemical products can be produced from syngas via the well-known and catalytic chemical process called Fischer Tropsch (FT) synthesis.
Synthesis / decomposition: the Haber-Bosch process is an artificial nitrogen fixation process and is the main industrial procedure for the production of ammonia today.
One route to produce methanol is characterized by the addition of carbon dioxide to hydrogen.
Steam and dry: Steam methane reforming (SMR) is a process in which natural gas is heated with steam to produce a mixture of carbon monoxide and hydrogen used in organic synthesis.
Methane production: the Sabatier Process produces methane and water from a reaction of hydrogen with carbon dioxide at elevated temperatures.
Hydrogenation is a chemical reaction between hydrogen and another compound, usually in the presence of a catalyst.
