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
