Stirred Pressure Autoclave Reactor

Amar has been the pioneer, largest manufacturer, and exporter of high pressure stirred autoclave reactors and systems in India since past over 40 years. Almost all chemical laboratories and process development facilities will have a stirred pressure reactor and very often from Amar. The come in a range of sizes from the very tiny (see specs below) to several hundred litres in size. The stirred pressure reactor is a very versatile piece of equipment. It can be used to carry out various types of reactions such as Liquid (single phase), Liquid-Liquid (multiple phases), Gas-Liquid, and Gas Solid Liquid. For example, various aldol condensations use organic reagents that form a single liquid phase but the catalyst is a mineral acid or base e.g., H2SO4 or NaOH which will form a separate aqueous phase. Such organic and aqueous phases are often immiscible and that makes stirring crucial to getting high reaction rates since otherwise, mass transfer limitations control the reaction rates.

Other types of reactions include Hydrogenations which are often of a Gas-Solid-Liquid nature where a solid metal catalyst such as Platinum on Carbon is used. In such cases, high stirring rates are imperative for both the suspension of solid catalysts (avoid settling at the reactor bottom) and also for the reinduction of gaseous hydrogen from the vapor space to liquid. Special impeller and agitator designs e.g. hollow shafts are available for these applications.

Pressure reactors allow users the ability to increase reaction rates by using higher Temperatures which in turn generate autogenous pressures. This forms the basis behind Process Intensification (PI). Increasingly batch reactions are being converted to continuous mode and that again uses arrangements such as cascades of CSTR’s each of which is a pressure reactor.

Amar reactors come with various accessories such as catch pots, thermowell, dosing pumps, sample points, torque sensors, back pressure valves etc. For a safety point of view proper selection of a PRV or Rupture Disk is also crucial. Particularly difficult systems involve solids which can lead to choking of valves but Amar has decades of experience in recommending the right accessories. We are also able to work with Stainless Steel as well as various exotic metals such as Hastelloy, Inconel, Monel etc.

Accessories

Apart from our standard specifications we also provide additional value-added optional accessories to enhance the versatility and functionality of the equipment for various applications.

This system is used to control temperature overshoots for highly exothermic / out of control / runaway reactions as well as for faster cooling upon completion of the reaction.

a) Solenoid valve : This is standard for 100ml - 1Ltr table top autoclaves. For higher volumes, it is advisable only if the temperature is less than 100°C or at least 2-3 bar pressure is available in the water supply line.
b) Pump & water tank : It consists of a pump, SS304 water tank & hose pipes to circulate water in the internal cooling coil of the autoclaves for faster cooling. The pump can be either with a non-flameproof motor or an Ex-proof IIC class motor.

It is mounted on the vent line to maintain constant pressure inside the autoclave. The pressure can be set initially, either manually, pneumatically or electronically. Once the set pressure is exceeded, the excess pressure is released until the autoclave pressure becomes equal to or below the set pressure. The pressure release is slow and gradual and the set pressure can be varied at any point.

a) Manual Back Pressure Regulator : The pressure can be set initially on the gauge, by manually varying the knob until the gas comes out.

b) Electronically actuated digital pneumatic back pressure regulator : In this, the pressure is set digitally & can be released at a preset rate of pressure release. (6 bar air supply is required).

c) Pneumatically actuated pilot-operated back pressure regulator : Air/N2 gas supply of required pressure must be provided to operate the regulator.

d) Electronic control unit & forward pressure regulator with 4 mtr. hose for activating (c) above.

e) Materials: Hastelloy C, PTFE etc.

It can be used for holding the catalyst so that it is not dispersed or destroyed in the reaction mass. The catalyst basket can be either static which is stationary or dynamic which rotates with the impeller. It is available for reactor volume of 500ml and above. The baskets are made from SS316 wire mesh.

These are small 7 microns SS 316 sintered cup filters which are threaded to bottom of the sampling dip tube so that the catalyst does not come out while sampling liquid. It is very useful when the catalyst is expensive or pyrophoric. These filters may reduce the rate/flow of the sampling liquid due to resistance offered by fine mesh, hence they need regular cleaning to prevent choking.These catalyst filters are available for 500 ml - 100 ltr volume autoclaves. Different material and micron size filter can be provided based on the availability and design conformity.

It is used to collect the vent vapours / gases from the autoclave vent, rupture disc & safety valve port when the vapour / gas is highly hazardous and cannot be released directly into the atmosphere.It is a pressure vessel, designed depending on volume of autoclave & its design pressure. It is provided with inlet, outlet, vent, dip tubes, pressure gauge, safety valve & optionally a flame or flashback arrester. It is normally filled with water. The gases / vapours collected are safely released through the flame / flash back arrester to avoid any hazard. It is suitable & available for any autoclave volume.

A digital pressure indicator consists of SS316 pressure sensor & digital pressure indicator / controller (mounted on common control panel) with pressure alarm & optionally heater cut off for safety.
