Description
The Halen XFR 200 reactor series combines split-and-recombine serpentine plate flow reactors with the proprietary high-power flat LED technology developed by Peschl Ultraviolet GmbH. Our plate-type flow photoreactors provide excellent mixing characteristics, regardless of the residence time, and their flameproof design meets the requirements for commercial production.
The photonic energy generated by the LEDs in combination with the small volume of the flow reactor requires detailed modeling to secure the safe operation. We cooperate with a specialized party for CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) simulations on all our plate-type flow reactors.
Our reactors are engineered specifically for your process needs and provide a wide range of reactor volumes, high-pressure rating and minimal pressure drop. For production, multiple photoreactors can be cascaded into turnkey flameproof plants.
The plate flow photoreactors can be operated in different flow modes with excellent mixing providing a solution for precipitation or slurry phase photoreactions, even with prolonged irradiation times. The reactor‘s easy disassembly allows for straightforward inspection and cleaning validation, meeting GMP guidelines.
