AUTOMATED LABORATORY INSTALLATION
The unit is designed for testing isobutane dehydrogenation catalysts in the fluidized bed by activity and selectivity, as well as conducting life tests in automatic continuous mode without limiting the number of test cycles.
technical specifications
Reactor made of titanium or nickel-free steel 800mm long with an internal diameter of 30 ± 1mm with a removable coaxial pocket for three control thermocouples;
The furnace is a hinged, four-zone furnace with an operating temperature range from 50 to 800 ° C with a length of 900 mm with an automatic accelerated cooling system necessary for drying the catalyst before testing at a temperature of 300-400 ° C.;
A generator of four gas flows (isobutane, nitrogen, air, hydrogen), based on electronic regulators of the mass flow of gas with an error of no more than 0.5%;
A gas flow switch that implements the necessary sequence of supply and mixing of gases entering the reactor, pressure monitoring in the reactor necessary to assess the degree of filter clogging, reverse purging of filters to clean them, automatic loading and unloading of the catalyst in nitrogen without the presence of air, as well as automatic filling of the heated reactor with nitrogen during an emergency power outage and hydrogen supply for regeneration;
Power supply 230V 50Hz;
Overall dimensions 800x800x2000;
The installation is placed in a ventilated cabinet with a glass lockable door;
Gas flow heater with operating temperature range from 20 to 500C installed if necessary before entering the reactor;
Determination of qualitative and quantitative characteristics of the gas mixture at the reactor outlet using a gas chromatograph with an automatic analysis results processing system, with an assessment of activity and selectivity.
