Custom / Industrial Reactors

In addition to standard laboratory reactor platforms, Premex designs and manufactures custom high-pressure reactors and process systems for more specialised research, development and industrial applications. Where a standard reactor does not fully match the process requirement, Labplan can work with Premex to help define a tailored solution based on the customer’s chemistry, operating conditions, scale, materials, control requirements and safety considerations.

Premex’s custom reactor solutions can be configured around the required process, rather than forcing the application into a fixed standard design. This makes them suitable for customers with demanding or unusual requirements, including specialised chemistry, advanced catalyst research, materials development, supercritical fluid processes and industrial process testing.

Custom reactor capabilities include:

  • Bespoke batch and semi-batch reactors for specialist pressure chemistry applications
  • Fixed-bed reactors for catalyst testing, gas-phase reactions and continuous-flow studies
  • Continuous flow and CSTR systems for process development and scale-up work
  • Internal-recycle and rotating basket reactors for kinetic studies, catalyst evaluation and ageing tests
  • Visual high-pressure reactors for applications where process observation is required
  • Corrosion and erosion testing systems for demanding chemical, petrochemical and materials research
  • High-throughput and parallel reactor systems for screening and comparative studies
  • Pilot-scale and industrial reactor systems for larger-volume process development and production-oriented applications
  • Turnkey process plants with integrated gas/liquid handling, dosing, heating/cooling, measurement, control and safety systems
