Since its founding more than one hundred years ago, Parr Instrument Company has been engaged exclusively in the manufacture and sale of chemical reactors, pressure vessels, bomb calorimeters, combustion vessels, and related equipment developed specifically for laboratory use.
Throughout its long history the primary emphasis in all Parr manufacturing has been to provide its customers with quality apparatus, carefully designed for each application and backed by a competent technical support staff with many years of experience in this specialized field.
General InformationSpecifications Parr offers two styles of condensers for attachment to the head of a stirred reactor or pressure vessel. These can be made in various sizes to match the size of the reactor The reflux condenser consists of a length of tubing connected directly to the head of a vessel and equipped with a…
Static Catalyst BasketDynamic Catalyst Basket The Static Design In the static design the mesh basket holding the catalyst remains stationary while impellers on the stirring shaft and baffles outside of the basket direct the flow of reactants over the surface of the contained catalyst. A unique gas entrainment impeller provides a uniform flow of both…
Standard StirrerGas Entrainment ImpellersBaffles All stirrer options may not be appropriate or available for each reactor size. Additional internal fittings may be required to adapt some stirrer styles to existing reactors in the field. Please contact us for assistance in selecting a stirrer suitable for the intended operating volume and viscosity. The stirrer option shown…
This system incorporates three tubular reactors that can be configured as required to operate in a strictly parallel fashion or in a cascade arrangement where the products from one reactor are immediately directed to a second reactor. This type of system can support reaction schemes including but not limited to the Fisher- Tropsch process,…
General InformationSchematic Example A supercritical fluid is any substance at a temperature and pressure above its critical point. Such fluids can diffuse through solids like a gas and dissolve materials like a liquid. Near the critical point, small changes in pressure or temperature result in large changes in density, allowing many properties of a supercritical…
General InformationProduct PhotosSpecification Stirring biomass is not easy to do in a vertical reactor. A line of reactors has been developed by Parr Instrument Company to function horizontally. Horizontal reactors enable researchers to mix bio feed stock and other cellulosic material such as: • straw • corn stover • sugar cane • grasses • plants…
Parr Instrument Company manufactures non-stirred vessels for the decomposition of biomass in ammonia and steam. Parr stirred reactors, including a new horizontal reactor technology, have been designed for research processes that include hydrogenation, isomerization, and metathesis reactions. In addition, fully customizable continuous-flow tubular reactor systems have been developed with continuous reactant feed and product handling…
General InfoAccesoriesFluidized Bed ReactorSchematic ExamplesCustom Examples Tubular reactors are always used in a continuous flow mode with reagents flowing in and products being removed. They can be the simplest of all reactor designs. Tubular reactors are often referred to by a variety of names: • Pipe reactors • Packed-bed reactors • Trickle-bed reactors • Bubble-column…
General InformationSpecificationProduct PhotosCustomize Multiple Reactor System The Parr Series 5000 Multiple Reactor System has been designed to provide an integrated system for running multiple reactions simultaneously and applying the principles of high throughput experimentation to reactions conducted at elevated temperatures and pressures. The principal features of the 5000 System include: • Six reactors with internal…
General InformationSpecificationProduct Photos Familiar Parr Designs All of the safety, convenience and reliability features which have been the hallmark of Parr pressure reaction equipment for more than 50 years have been incorporated into a new line of high pressure, compact laboratory reactors. (HPCL Reactors.) The Series 5500 HPCL Reactors are based upon our popular micro…
General InformationSpecificationProduct Photos The Parr series 5100 Low Pressure Reactors 1. A system for running reactions similarto those that have been conducted for many years in the Parr Shaker, but which offer stirring for better scalability, higher operating temperatures and pressures, and more extensive reactor controls and instrumentation. 2. Glass vessels that permit direct observation…
General InformationSpecificationProduct Photos paper writer These are the smallest of all Parr Stirred Reactors. They will be a good choice for chemists working with very expensive materials or materials only available in small amounts. They will also appeal to users who wish to minimize the risks associated with hazardous materials or reactions by restricting…
