catalyst research, micro-reactor, pilot plant, gas feed control, liquid feed control

Are you working on catalyst research in a micro-reactor or challenged with scaling up from the laboratory to pilot plant to full-scale production? Brooks Instrument offers a combination of gas and liquid flow measurement and control technologies to improve process control for a broad range of chemical and petrochemical applications.

Examples of applications:

Purging the Sensing Lines of a Differential Pressure Transmitter

One of the common applications for differential pressure transmitters is flow measurement by measuring the differential pressure across an orifice plate, venturi tube, or other differential pressure device.

Mass Flow Controllers Ensure Accurate Mixing for Catalyst Research

Catalyst research is the science of adding a substance to a process to speed up or improve the process. Most solid catalysts are metals or the oxides, sulfides, and halides of metallic elements and of the semi-metallic elements boron, aluminum, and silicon. Gaseous and liquid catalysts are commonly used in their pure form or in combination with suitable carriers.

Mass Flow Controllers Generate Accurate Data for Mass-balance Calculations in Pilot Plants

Petrochemicals produced from natural gas or liquid hydrocarbon feedstocks provide the building blocks used in the production of plastics, resins, fibers, solvents, detergents, adhesives and other products. The research for these feedstocks and end products starts as an idea and goes through a development cycle that often includes micro-reactor, lab reactor and pilot plant before going to full scale production.

Obtain Accurate Measurement and Control of Liquid Levels with Repeatable Gas Flow and Pressure Management Using the "Bubbler Method"

Chemical and petrochemical companies must safely manage and control their liquid inventory or the transportation of liquid from one process to another using tanks, vessels, or barrels through the "bubbler method".
