To shorten lead times and gain full process control, RESMAN decided to transition their patented tracer manufacturing to a company-operated plant. Central to their new Trondheim facility are a 60 liter chemReactor BR 60 and a 50 liter nutsche filter, operating under vacuum and an inert atmosphere.

Combined with a thermostat for temperature control and a SYSTAG automation system, this process setup ensures reproducible, safe production of tracers for oil & gas upstream and CCUS (Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage) applications.

Operating at up to 200 bar and 300 °C, the maxiclave® offers an economical and reliable solution with interchangeable vessel sizes of 0.5 and 1.0 liters.

Made of stainless steel or Hastelloy®, it’s available in two configurations: the non-stirred maxiclave® and the stirred maxiclave® drive with a cyclone 075 dc magnetic stirrer drive.

Optional PTFE inserts (Teflon) and an ergonomic handling stand further increase operational flexibility and ease. It's an ideal solution for various chemical applications including catalyst testing, hydrogenations, polymerizations and CCS research.

High-purity PEG derivatives demand perfect batch consistency. Frequent project changes demand maximum flexibility. Polypure AS found the solution in our glass reactor systems and its proprietary, modular buchiflex glass piping system.

See how Polypure AS achieved both reproducibility and adaptability in one integrated solution.

Our new video introduces the versoclave® laboratory pressure reactor - developed for demanding pressure reactions in corrosion-resistant pressure vessels made of steel and Hastelloy® as well as other metallic materials. 

The versoclave® enables safe reaction control in various pressure ranges - even with visual process control thanks to (optional) sight glasses. The versoclave® is available in standard versions as well as customized solutions.

Thanks to the optional fast action closure and reactor lift, the pressure vessel can be opened quickly and easily without tools - ideal for daily laboratory use.
