Persoonlijk vind ik dit een geweldig project.
CO2 weer omzetten in een organische verbinding (in dit geval H2).
Samen met de productie van H2 de oplossing in de toekomst.
How KAUST’s Catalysis Center in Saudi Arabia is leveraging Avantium’s high-throughput catalyst testing technology to produce R&D breakthroughs24 Oct 2022
Quartz reactors, enabled by the Flowrence® tube-in-tube technology, present a novel alternative to the traditional stainless steel vessels, for high temperature applications and where chemical activation of steel tubes might be an issue. Such was the case in the research paper “Stable High-Pressure Methane Dry Reforming Under Excess of CO2”, with an operating temperature of 800°C using quartz reactors. The unique tube-in-tube technology of Avantium’s high-throughput systems balances the internal reactor pressure with a flow of diluent (typically nitrogen) on the outer side, allowing the use of quartz reactors.
Hear it from the end-users
“The Avantium technology has really helped us in optimizing catalyst testing efficiently…The time it would take to generate data of 16 catalysts in a single channel unit would be maybe 3 months of work, this is now compress into 1-2 weeks. I have really loved working with Avantium units, I really impressed by the engineering use and how reliable and reproducible our data is – I wish I could always work with Avantium units”.

“These two (2) Flowrence XD’s by Avantium are widely used in this catalysis center in order to speed up our catalysis research in particular CO2 hydrogenation and methanol to hydrocarbon transformation.”
“What we really like of them is not only the parallel reactor, but the fact they are very easy to operate even with people of different backgrounds and countries (of origin). They are robust enough for us to train staff regardless of their country of origin, if they have a MS, PhD, does not matter.”
Adrián R. Galilea – Staff Engineer, High-throughput
“With these new Flowrence systems we strengthen our high-throughput facilities for heterogeneous catalysis and make sure that our researchers keep having access to state of the art technology. We have an excellent experience with Avantium’s equipment and technical support and look forward to developing new catalysts by making use of these systems.”
