They are available in a variety of Materials of Construction (MOCs) with a wide range of options and standard accessories. Sizes range from lab to pilot and production scale. Typical end users include the petrochemicals, refining, pharmaceutical, and specialty chemicals industries.
Stirred Pressure Reactor – Autoclave
A Stirred Pressure Reactor (or Autoclave) is a specialized reactor designed for chemical reactions under elevated pressures and temperatures. A mechanical agitator ensures efficient mixing, enhances mass transfer, and accelerates reaction kinetics, while a jacket or internal cooling coil provides effective heat transfer.
Typically constructed from high-strength, corrosion-resistant materials such as stainless steel or Hastelloy, these vessels are essential in process development and scale-up for operations like hydrogenation, polymerization, and catalytic transformations. They are widely used in the chemical, petrochemical, and pharmaceutical industries, forming a key part of process intensification strategies and supporting both batch and continuous modes.

Parallel Synthesizer
Parallel synthesizers are the next step in scale-up from React-7 models, where larger quantities of typically liquid phase reactions can be handled in parallel mode. Top-mounted stirrers allow viscous reactions, and high temperature and pressure conditions can be safely studied along with corrosive reagents due to a wide variety of Materials of Construction.
These reactors are the best choice for an experimental design program to optimize synthesis conditions and for catalyst screening. Gas pressures can be independently varied for each reactor, and jacketed as well as coil cooling and heating is possible, along with automatic data logging and PID control. Process development teams often use these to close material balance models and evaluate changes in heat and mass transfer from mL to L scales.
