Pilon Engineering designs customized flow reactor and catalytic reactor systems according to the specific requirements of each process.
Applications in Germany
In Germany, there is a robust chemical and pharmaceutical production industry, which has significant knowledge regarding process engineering, catalysis, and continuous production. Continuous hydrogenation can provide appropriate chemical production processes that need hydrogen control, catalyst contact, heat transfer, pressure control, and reaction conditions.
Pilon Engineering can design tailor-made systems for their clients in major industrial and scientific regions of Germany, such as North Rhine-Westphalia, Bavaria, Baden-Württemberg, Hesse, Rhineland-Palatinate, Saxony, Hamburg, and many other regions in Germany. The systems can be customized on the basis of the catalyst needed, flow rate, pressure, temperature, residence time, etc.
What Is a Continuous Hydrogenation System?
A Continuous Hydrogenation System enables uninterrupted hydrogenation using Fixed Bed Reactors (FBR) or Packed Bed Reactors, allowing reactants to flow continuously over catalysts under controlled conditions, this ensures:
- Steady‑state operation
- Precise reaction control
- Higher throughput
- Reduced solvent and catalyst usage
- Safer hydrogen handling
Pilon Engineering has successfully converted traditional batch hydrogenation processes into continuous systems with production capacities of 50 kg/day, 250 kg/day, and 1000 kg/day.
