Modular Micro-Reaction Technology
Micro-reaction technology opens up new ways to develop novel reaction processes and to construct advanced economic chemical plants. The advantages of the continuous operation mode in micro-structures are: ultra-fast mixing, highly effective heat transfer, short and controllable residence times, low system inertia for ideal process control and high safety due to extremely low hold-up.
The basic advantages of the micro-reaction technology for the development of new chemical processes and the production, both in the fine and mass chemical sector, offer significant potential for innovation and amortisation. Micro-modules can also be integrated into conventional plants without any problem
The micro-reaction technology enable to exactly control complex or critical reactions of fine chemistry (special products, agricultural and pharmaceutical
chemicals), which considerably increases the operational safety of the chemical production. Economically attractive application possibilities have also been detected for bulk chemicals and polymers. The future technology of customised materials is also not imaginable without micro-technology. Microreactors allow the selective generation of nano-particles for micro-electronics, the development of drug delivery systems for human medicine, and the realisation of new concepts within diagnostics. Micro-reaction modules enable basis process
operations such as:
- Mixing
- Dispersing
- Gassing
- Precipitation
- Heat Exchange, etc.
With LabVision`s MicroBib one can create an automation surface for an individual assembly with only a few mouse clicks. The library modules conatin not one the visualisation and control elements, but also already feature all needed process control functionalities (e.g. a heating module already features the temperature controll). A valuable time saver in a laboratory day work.
Micro reaction technology is a suitable tool for process intensification by means of reduction of plant and/or appartus size, identifiaction and work around of limitation substance and heat transports in conventionell technologies.
The goal of process intensification is to yield space and time needed and advance selection to lower production costs.
Micro reaction systems can be used as Multipurpose-plant as well as small, specialist (Dedicated-) plants, that will be adjusted to the need of higher capacities by parallising and numbering-up.
The overall goal of micro technology is to be
- better (higher yield, selectivity),
- faster (greater space time yield),
- safer and more envornment friendly (green chemistry, without risky process systems),
- cheaper
