USE

  • Determining how chemical reactions can be transferred safety from the laboratory to the production site.
  • OptIMax™ HFCal reproducibly delivers information to characterize process parameters, for scale-up and to ensure it is safe at scale:
    • Heat transfer coefficient
    • Specific heat of the reaction mass
    • Heat flow for isothermal and non-isothermal conditions
    • Enthalpy
    • Thermal conversion
    • Adiabatic temperature rise
