Reusable catalyst cartridges for safe hydrogenation

Simplify catalyst handling and enhance reaction control with reusable cartridges designed to safely facilitate hydrogenation processes in continuous flow systems, cutting down reaction times and minimizing exposure risks.

Facilitates Safe Catalyst Handling and Efficient Reactions

ThalesNano’s CatCarts® offer a unique catalyst handling system designed for flow chemistry applications, providing a safe and efficient way to manage heterogeneous catalysis with minimal user contact. These stainless-steel cartridges are packed with a solid catalyst and feature an integrated filtration system to ensure only the liquid substrate passes through, eliminating the need for catalyst filtration. Compatible with the H-Cube® series and Phoenix flow reactors, CatCarts® excel in hydrogenation reactions where precise control and high reaction rates are crucial.

They are ideal for industries ranging from pharmaceutical manufacturing to chemical research, facilitating the production of APIs, specialty chemicals, and selective hydrogenation compounds. CatCarts® are available in various sizes to match your specific chemistry needs and allow for quick catalyst exchange and reuse, reducing downtime and increasing productivity. The system’s design enhances phase interaction, boosting mass transfer and reaction speed while allowing seamless integration into existing production lines. Customize your CatCarts® with the desired catalyst through ThalesNano’s custom loading service, ensuring the perfect fit for your process requirements.
