POWERS ON: PID Eng & Tech Microactivity Reference Catalytic Reactor Testing System
See a video of our technician demonstrating the instrument: youtube.com/watch?v=sR7lltJG3cQ
Used see photos. All sensors are working, and pneumatic door pistons are brand new (the seals were worn out so we replaced them) and new reactor thermocouple. Touchscreen works and all heaters are operational up to default temperature settings. The instrument measures 22" W x 28" H x 26" D.
No software included for PC control. Onboard control only. The Liquid/Gas Separator power supply is missing, but the rest of the components are still installed in the back. The mass flow controllers were not tested with a gas supply, but all four power on and do not give any errors. We did a thorough check of all internal fans, blowers, safety interlocks, and control components, no faults were found.
About This Instrument: The PID Eng & Tech Microactivity-Reference is a modular automated catalytic reactor analysis system built for catalyst screening, catalytic microactivity testing, reaction kinetics, activity and selectivity studies, process development, and continuous-flow laboratory research in petrochemical, refinery, energy, chemical, and academic R&D settings. This platform is designed around a heated tubular reactor with reactor bypass, preheater/evaporator, pressure control architecture, hot box enclosure to reduce condensation of volatile products, integrated safety interlocks, local touchscreen operation, and original Ethernet-based remote PC control when equipped with the Process@ software package. Literature for this system family describes stainless reactor construction, mass flow controller based gas dosing, optional liquid feed via HPLC pump, liquid-gas separation with Peltier-assisted condensation, and modular configuration options for atmospheric or high-pressure work depending on build; published applications include hydrocracking, hydrotreating, isomerization, hydrogenation, hydrodesulfurization, hydrodenitrogenation, oxidation, polymerization, reforming/aromatization, steam reforming, and Fischer-Tropsch / GTL related catalyst studies. Reported family-level specs in PID literature include a tubular reactor approximately 9.2 mm ID x 300 mm length, reactor temperatures up to 950 C in standard literature, hot box temperatures around 170 C depending on revision, reactor operation up to 100 bar in high-pressure configurations, Ethernet communications, and low dead-volume process layout for analytical catalyst work; exact installed configuration should be confirmed from the specific unit and installed hardware shown.
Due to the size and weight of this system, it must be shipped via freight. Buyer is responsible for freight shipping costs.
