Pilot Scale Batch Stirred Hydrogenation Reactors

A pilot-scale stirred hydrogenation reactor is not just a bigger lab autoclave. It is an integrated process development unit that combines chemistry with critical chemical engineering principles—mass transfer, heat transfer, and mixing. Successful pilot-scale work provides the data necessary to confidently design a safe, efficient, and economical commercial production plant. The investment in a well-instrumented, flexible pilot system significantly de-risks the entire scale-up pathway for hydrogenation processes.
