The SpinChem® rotating bed reactor (RBR) is a fully scalable technology, enabling efficient reaction development in the laboratory as well as economic production in the manufacturing plant. Results are consistent across scales, making it easy to predict large-scale performance based on small-scale trials. In this insight, we are going to discuss this smart feature scalability in detail.

Why "Scalability"?

The SpinChem® RBR is designed to be flexible and can be used for many heterogeneous reactions. The importance of a scalable reactor technology becomes apparent when:

• You need to achieve greater production economy.  
• You have to meet higher customer demand.
• Operations need to be streamlined learn more.

How scalable is the rotating bed reactor?

The SpinChem® RBR is used in the laboratories of the world's largest pharmaceutical companies, and deployed in 90,000L+ vessels for wastewater treatment. Minimize surprise by using an RBR for your catalysis or purification.

• Standard RBR models span the range between 150 mL and 100,000 L
• The ProRBR Complete Kit is used for processing in totes.
• 7000 L of water was decolorized using 79 L of activated carbon.

Features:

The scalability of the RBR is one of its biggest strengths, but regardless of scale there are also other features such as:

• Ease of automation.
• Short reaction time.
• Prolonged catalyst lifetime.
• Simplified or completely eliminated filtration.
• Convenient screening
