Tool for process development and
scale-up

The RC1e from Mettler Toledo can be used as an automatic laboratory reactor and a reaction calorimeter for heat balancing, and can be thought of as a small scale pilot plant

The RC1e collects data about reactions to give chemical engineers a complete picture of the process allowing optimisation of process profitability, quality, ecology and safety Acting as a small-scale pilot plant, the RC1e allows processes or individual steps to be carried out under conditions approaching reality

The control and measurement of all important process parameters such as temperature, cooling, pressure, mixing, dosing profiles, distillation, reflux, and crystallisation can all be done in a range of operation from -70C to 300C and from a vacuum to 400 bar pressure.

Besides the basic physical operations performed automatically by the RC1e, it also supplies valuable quantitative data on the heat generation rate of the reaction as a function of time and heat of the reaction.

The specific heat of the reaction mass and data on the heat transport of the stirred reaction mass through the thermostated wall of the semibatch reactor are also available. Request a free brochure from Mettler Toledo ...
