MF-V9 is a modular glass flow reactor for process development, pilot & full-scale production.  With integrated heat exchange, V9 gives optimal control for challenging chemistries & processing conditions.

MF-V9 industrial flow reactors are modular glass reactors for the performance of continuous flow reactions at ton scale. V9 reactors are suitable for chemically challenging reactions under extreme processing conditions such as fast, highly exothermic reactions, reactions with aggressive media, reactions employing unstable intermediates or hazardous reactions not accessible under batch conditions.

The MF-V9 thousand-ton glass microreactor is a capacity upgrade without magnification structure based on the MF-V6 small scale glass microreactor. Compared with MF-V6, MF-V9 does not amplify the former unit hybrid structure to the same proportion, but transfers the unit hybrid structure of MF-V6 in parallel with 8 threads without amplification. , Through the special design of 3-layer heat exchange, 2-layer process, and 1-layer sealing, the flux is increased by 15-20 times, and the heat exchange efficiency is further strengthened, so that the reaction can still be obtained in the case of high flux Good heat transfer control. At the same time, the two major factors of mass transfer and pressure drop are taken into account, ensuring mass transfer without amplification effect and small pressure drop, realizing the maximization of mass transfer and heat transfer efficiency, and safely and stably achieving the thousand-ton pilot production process .

warning:

Please use it within the specified rated pressure range. If the supplied pressure exceeds 16 bar, the microreactor will be damaged or ruptured, resulting in malfunction.

Please use it within the specified rated temperature difference range. If the supplied temperature difference exceeds 50K, the microreactor will be damaged or ruptured, causing malfunctions. This temperature difference includes the temperature difference between the reactor and the environment, the temperature difference between the reactor and the feed liquid, and the temperature difference between the reactor and the heat exchange medium.

When feeding solids, please note that the diameter of the solid particles should be less than 50μm, and the solid content of the reagent should be less than 5%, otherwise the microreactor may be blocked. During the reaction process, it is easy to produce insoluble precipitates (all solvents are insoluble). It is forbidden to carry out in the microreactor, such as the reaction of tert-butyl lithium; at the same time, it is strictly forbidden to freeze any form of internal materials in the reactor (such as water). freeze).

When using the device, do not hit it hard or drop it from a high place. Even if the appearance is not damaged, it may cause malfunction due to damage to the internal parts.

The device is not registered with the FDA and cannot be used as an FDA-certified device in APIs.

Note on temperature difference:

1. When the ambient temperature is room temperature, please use it within the range of 70℃. If you need to work at a temperature above 70℃, please install a protective cover and insulation wool on the outside of the reactor to ensure the difference between the ambient temperature and the temperature of the reactor Less than 50k

2. When the ambient temperature is high, the operation can be carried out without installing a heat shield, because the reactor temperature is consistent with the ambient temperature and there is no temperature difference. (Such as microwave, oven and other heating methods)

3. Regardless of the ambient temperature, the temperature difference between incoming materials and medium must be controlled within 50 k.
