Project Description
In most cases, catalytic hydrogenations are mass-transfer-limited reactions.
The BCT-Loop Reactor from BUSS ChemTech is the perfect tool for optimising such reactions.
This technology has been successfully applied in the pharmaceutical industry in the production of many active pharmaceutical ingredients.
Switching from the conventional stirred reactor solution to BCT-Loop Reactor technology enables:
- shorter reaction times / lower temperature / lower pressure
- higher selectivity / higher yield
- lower catalyst consumption
- reduced solvent charge
Furthermore, the Buss Loop® allows maximum flexibility in working volume as the reactors can operate between 30 and 110% of nominal capacity, while still providing the same heat transfer area, the same mixing efficiency and therefore the same mass transfer rates. This is a very important benefit, particularly for multipurpose plants.
