360°KAS
Introduction
Since 1980, 360°KAS has designed and fabricated bench-scale test units for research institutes and commercial organizations across the world. Our turnkey units comply with the highest standards in safety and reliability but are also practical and cost-efficient. The full spectrum of applications we cover encompasses:
- Continuous, semi-continuous and batch
- Dedicated and multi-purpose
- Fixed/ fluidized bed
- Liquid, gas and multi-phase reactors
In consultation with the customer 360°KAS is able to design and fabricate pilot plants with the following features:
- High level of safety;
- User friendly;
- Solid reactor design to ensure reliable experiments;
- Solid design to ensure representative samples and analysis;
- Selection of high quality parts;
- Innovative solutions for unconventional parts;
- Design for ease of maintenance.
Through the years we have specialized in Pilot Plants for FCC catalyst research and Pilot Plants for polymerization studies.
Our Offering
Cyclic Deactivation (CD) Unit
During its lifetime a Fluid Catalytic Cracking (FCC) catalyst is subjected to numerous repeated cycles of cracking, stripping and regeneration. It thereby endures a variety of physical and chemical changes that cause deactivation. When evaluating FCC catalysts at laboratory scale, it is of imperative importance that fresh catalyst is properly deactivated to a so called equilibrium catalyst (E-cat) sample. 360°KAS has the method to obtain this E-cat sample at laboratory or pilot scale. We call it our Cyclic Deactivation (CD) unit. This is the way to reproduce all the fundamental phenomena that simulate the aging process in commercial Fluid Catalytic Cracking (FCC) operation.
Short Contact Time Riser Test (SCT-RT) Unit
Decisions on catalyst selection are often supported by performance test results from lab-scale simulation. 360°KAS has the method to measure the performance of Fluid Catalytic Cracking (FCC) catalyst by mimicking the behavior of a commercial riser. In the bench scale SCT-RT unit pre-heated oil is injected into a fluidized bed of hot FCC catalyst particles. The unique reactor design provides an optimal mixing and cracking at very short and realistic contact times, followed by fast disengagement of cracked products and the stripping of the formed products.
Custom Made Pilot Plants
Our portfolio of custom made pilot plants encompasses for example batch reactors for polymerization studies and continuous micro flow reactor units for experimental studies on catalytic hydrogenation.
