Polymer sample production plant

The Polymerization Micro-Pilot Plant, developed by PID Eng&Tech , is designed for continuous production at microscale. PID Eng&Tech in co-operation with important Research and Technology Centres by means of different Collaboration Projects has developed a pilot plant to produce polyolefins. The plant comprises two continuous stirred-tank reactors that operate in series. The plant includes a pre-treating raw material area and a reaction area consisting of two reactor vessels. PID Eng&Tech computerized process control system allows a direct control of temperature, level, pressure and gas composition in the reactors. Micro-Pilot Plant is fully automatized and all of the process parameters, as gas and liquid flows, operating pressure and temperature, residence time per reactor, etc., can be selected by user, or modified in a wide range. PID Eng&Tech has developed in collaboration with ICP (Catalyst and Petrochemical Institute of CSIC, Spain) systems and devices for solid addition and for catalyst and polymer slurry driving between different reaction steps. These mechanisms have been specifically designed for performing the process at microscale.
