Serving Industry Since 1974
Transform your process development capabilities using AMaR series continuous flow reactors
Key design attributes
The devices developed under AMaR series are designed to offer excellent mixing and heat transfer for carrying out fast and
exothermic reactions. The design is based on extensive experiments as well as years of research on flow and transport processes
carried out at CSIR-National Chemical Laboratory, Pune. The geometry is selected in a manner that while they offer high heat
transfer area per unit reactor volume, they also allow flow of dilute suspension of nano-catalysts. The channels / tubes may also
be packed with catalyst for catalytic reactions.
Applications
AMaR series is ideal for carrying out a wide range of chemical reactions in the
field of pharmaceuticals, fine and specialty Chemicals in a continuous manner. AMaR series flow reactors supplied with
charging vessels, liquid metering pumps,
Suitable for heating cooling circulators, back pressure regulator,
condenser, gas liquid separator etc.
• Homogeneous reactions: Neutralization, condensation, dehydration reactions etc.
• Multiphase Reactions:
- Gas-liquid reactions (G-L): oxidation, ozonolysis, chlorination, etc.
