Guidelines on when to use AMaR series of flow reactors


• Inconsistent batch performance due to high sensitivity towards process variables (temperature, pressure, concentration, time
and mixing)
• Process needs
- High heat transfer area
- Efficient mixing
- Rapid mass transfer
- High interfacial area
• Safety issues in
- Storing large inventories of hazardous reactants
- Handling of hazardous and unstable chemicals
- Generation of unstable species during the reaction
- Containing unwanted runaway
• Process waste related issues
- Need for enhancing the selectivity close to theoretical value
- Generation of waste that needs treatment
- Need to avoid or reduce the downstream processing efforts for purification
• Distributed production
- Produce only as per the local requirement/ consumption (Location wise production)
- Produce only as and when needed (avoid inventories)
• Optimal utilization of facility
- A continuous flow manufacturing facility can also be used for production of multiple products with almost same
peripherals
- Space occupancy will be less
- Achieve same or even better than conventional batch operation

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.

Advantages of continuous flow reactors over batch reactors:


• Better mixing & very high heat transfer area per unit volume.
• Faster reactions & better selectivity.
• Higher yield.
• High safety & ideal for exothermic reactions.
• Reduced waste and faster transfer of process from laboratory to
pilot/commercial scale manufacturing.
• Easily scaleable

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.
- Liquid-liquid reactions (L-L): nitration, diazotization, azo coupling, transfer
hydrogenation, sulfoxidation, amination, nitration of aromatic substrate, acylation,
formylation, methylation, synthesis of nanomaterials, knoevenagel condensation,
meerwein arylation, glycosylation reaction etc.
- G-L-S and L-S catalytic reactions: esterification, hydrogenation, condensation etc.

Gas Liquid Separator


It is a SS 316 pot connected at the outlet of the condensor to separate gas & liquid. It is offered in
different volumes & MOC on request. It can be optionally provided with level indication & control.

Level Control
Level sensor mounted on GLS or receiver pot for continuous sampling with minimum pressure drop

Back Pressure Regulator (BPR)


It is mounted on the vent line of the system & is used for maintaining constant pressure on the
upstream. The pressure is maintained by releasing the excess pressure of gas / liquid.
Types of BPR
(a)
a) Manual variable pressure BPR for pressures upto 350 bar. MOC: SS316, Hastelloy C, Inconel, PEEK etc. for (b)
low to high flow rates.
b) Pneumatically actuated electronic BPR: here the pressure is set digitally & can be released at preset rate, (c)
pressures upto 350 bar. MOC: SS316, Hastelloy C, Inconel etc., for low to high flow rates.
c) Manually operated low cost fixed pressure BPR with wetted parts of PEEK™, ETFE, Perfluoroelastomer,
where the pressure is fixed with respect to the BPR cartridge for back pressures ranging from 5 to1,000psi (a) PEEK
(0.3 to 69 bar). Operating flow rate: 0.1 to 10mL/min. Same body can house different pressure BPR
cartridges.
(d)
d) Diaphragm type air operated BPR - MOC: ETFE and PFA, pressure range 0-300 psi, flow rates 0-20ml/min

Liquid-Liquid Separator
This unit is used to separate slug flow of two immiscible liquids used in biphasic reaction or two phases of an
extraction flow. MOC: ETFE, PFA and PTFE, pressure 300 psi.

Wet Gas Meter


Wet gas meter is an analog instrument used to measure exhaust gas flow for gas mixer & is available in all
flow rate ranges. It can give output for digital flow indication

Sample / Status / Steam Selector Valve


These valves have unique variety of connecting slots and ports arrangements. It allows multiple planes of
ports, facilitating unique multiposition configurations useful for stream selection, column selection or
trapping. Can be configured for use at temperatures up to 350°C or pressures up to 10,000 psi.

Oven / Furnace
This can be used for various applications commonly where condensation is major issue during process. The
complete assembly can be placed inside oven to avoid condensation or to maintain particular temperature
throughout the process. Temperature rating: 200°C for oven & 500°C for furnace.

SCADA Software for remote operation & Recording


SCADA is a supervisory control & data acquisition software with all controllers / indicators having RS485
modbus communication port or PLC & HMI / touch panel, for online display, set point changes & data
logging of pressure, temperature, liquid / gas flow rate with totaliser, heater temperature, level, weight,
etc. remotely from PC as well as locally from panel. It gives continuous online data logging at predefined
variable time interval, online graphical representation as well as historical data & graphs on PC . RS 485-232
convertor & cable upto 10m or higher is also supplied.
