Note: Amar offers all the internal & optionally external wetted parts in the same material of construction as that of body & head to give fully corrosion resistant autoclaves.

Optional:

SS-316L, Hastelloy B/C, Titanium, Monel, Nickel, Inconel, Zirconium, Tantalum, Carbon Steel etc. for different liquids corrosive to SS-316. Other special alloys like A286, Alloy 20, duplex steel etc. can also be offered.

AMAR gives recommendation for material selection for

particular media, however it does not guarantee 100% corrosion

resistance of a particular material to a particular corrosive

media, as the same depends on various parameters like

temperature, pressure, concentration etc. of the reactions.

Reactor vessels of material SS316, upto 5 ltr are machined from

rolled / forged bar stock & reactors above 5 ltr are normally

fabricated from plates. SS316 autoclaves upto 100 ltr have lids

made from rolled / forged bar stock. The material listed below

may not be available in all possible sizes.

Removable head design

Optional: a) Fixed head design with raising & lowering

b) Fixed head design with raising, lowering & tilting

This is the most commonly used option & available for all sizes of autoclaves. Here the body rests on the stand / trolley & the head is lifted for charging, discharging & cleaning. The vessel can be removed for charging / discharging / cleaning. This option is more common as the head & vessel can be taken out easily for pressure testing, fitting accessories, servicing etc. The head can be lifted & lowered by chain pulley or hydraulic arrangement on special request for autoclaves above 5 ltr volume.

In this system the head of the autoclave is fixed with motor stand & the vessel & heater are raised & lowered manually by sliding or manually by scissor lift for 50 ml - 250 ml or by rotating screw for 500 ml - 1 ltr or pneumatically / hydraulically. The vessel or heater can be slided manually up & down for assembly or disassembly for 50 ml to 250 ml autoclaves, manually screwed up & down for 500 ml to 1 ltr autoclaves & pneumatic lift is provided for 500 ml to 25 ltr & hydraulic lift for 50 to 100 ltr autoclaves. This system is useful when head of the autoclave has lot of fittings & accessories, making it difficult to lift the head & detach all the fittings after every batch. Further, removing the heater for faster cooling & ease of lifting or lowering the vessel is advantageous.

In this system head of the autoclave is fixed while a manual, pneumatic or hydraulic lift allows the vessel (with heater) to be raised & lowered. When lowered the vessel can be tilted. This system is very useful where a vessel needs cleaning after every batch & for highly viscous material to discharge them easily just by tilting.

These are suitable when the maximum temperature inside the autoclave is less than 300°C. Heating rates are lower in FLP heaters in comparison to ceramic band heaters

b) Sealed heater in SS enclosure with ex-proof group IIC / ATEX zone 1 / class 1 div. 2 certified junction box

c) SS-304 jacket for oil / steam heating with insulation & cladding .d) If direct electric heating is not permitted (due to spot heating), heater can be provided on

jacket with oil inside. The heater can heat the oil which can in turn heat autoclave uniformly.e) External heater temperature thermocouple is provided with the cascade temperature

ii) Self sealing design:

The head & body can alternatively be sealed by a self sealing design in which there are no clamp bolts. Only the split clamps & FKM (Viton) / FFKM (Kalrez) 'O' ring can be used to give sealing under pressure. The head with 'O' ring is fixed to the body by just sliding the split clamps with latch. This is very easy & convenient for closing & opening the autoclave. However with viton 'O' ring maximum temp. is 225°C & with Kalrez maximum temperature is 275°C. The more expensive Kalrez has better chemical resistance than viton. This sealing can be offered for pressures of 100 bar only. While selecting a viton 'O' ring customers have to check its compatibility with solvents, ammonia etc. as viton gets easily attacked by many of them. This design is available upto 2 ltr only.

Application

These couplings are extremely useful for high pressure or high vacuum applications where leakages are not permitted for continuous running. They have replaced gland & mechanical sealing.

Construction & working

It is a zero leakage maintenance free coupling directly driven by the motor. It consists of external magnet rotor, which is driven by the motor. A stationary shell is threaded / bolted to reactor head & completely isolates the external rotor from the inner rotor. As the external rotor rotates, the internal rotor also rotates in synchronism. The reactor’s shaft is threaded / bolted / keyed to the inner rotor. High energy permanent rare earth magnets are fixed inside the inner & outer rotors. A water cooling jacket protects the magnets & other components from excessive temperature arising from the reactor.

High torque drives from 0.8 to 600 Nm

Materials: SS316, Hastelloy C, Inconel, Titanium, Tantalum, PEEK etc.

The gland/mechanical sealing needs replacement after every 200-1000 hrs of working depending on application & is limited by maximum pressure where as magnetic drive can run virtually life long without leakage with minimum maintenance Very useful for long or round the clock reactions as in gland/mechanical sealing the whole batch may be wasted in case of leakage

Zero leakage implies zero breakdown & zero maintenance, hence large savings in maintenance costs for years

Safe while using toxic & hazardous chemicals as its leakage is totally prevented

No wastage of expensive liquids through leakage

Almost no losses since these are friction free in synchronous operations

Minimum vibration transmission & hence smooth running

The coupling is flexible & hence any over load results in coupling slippage, thus preventing any damage to coupling, shaft or motor

Suitable upto 700 bar & 500°C

Salient features

The Carbon dioxide gas from the cylinder is first liquefied & then pressurized above the critical pressure of CO (73.8 bar) to the required pressure 2

necessary for extraction. This high pressure liquid CO is then heated above 2

the critical temperature of CO (31 °C) to the required temperature. CO 2 2

which is now in supercritical phase (SCCO ) enters the extractor where the 2

raw material is fed in powder form & the extraction is achieved on the basis of solubility. The compounds dissolved in SCCO finally come to the 2

separator at atmospheric pressure & get precipitated. CO leaving the 2

separator is then measured by passing it through a CO gas flow meter.2

The raw material in powder form is fed to the extractor. The liquid carbon dioxide from the CO tank is precooled by passing it through the precooler. 2

This precooled liquid carbon dioxide is then pressurized by means of a positive displacement plunger pump to a pressure above the critical pressure of C0 (i.e. 73.8 bar). High pressure liquid CO is then heated above 2 2

the critical temperature of CO (i.e 31 °C) by passing it through preheater. CO 2 2

which is now in the supercritical state enters the extractor in which the raw material is loaded. The SCCO dissolves substances on the basis of solubility, 2

depending on operating conditions. The SCCO with soluble extracts enters 2

the separators where the pressure & temperature are reduced sequentially so that solubility decreases & extract precipitates in the separators. Finally the clean CO without any traces is recycled back to the CO tank via 2 2

condenser.

Autoclaves for corrosion application are mainly used in aggressive environments like H S & 2

Applications

•

•

•

•

Normally corrosion test coupons are suspended in static (non-stirred) or stirred autoclave systems & corrosion is measured in terms of weight loss. In stirred autoclave system, sometimes the coupon holders are attached to the shaft & rotated during testing.

Autoclaves are then fed with the corrosive media & designed temperature & pressure are reached & maintained in the autoclaves. Optionally suitable electrodes like pH or ORP (MOC: SS316 / Hast-C) are provided to measure pH & redox potential under pressure.

Autoclaves with working, counters / reference & auxillary electrodes can also be offered with potential measurement system for electrochemical corrosion testing.

For standard model selection refer page 2-11 for stirred autoclave & page 28-31 for non-stirred pressure vessels

Static & Stirred Autoclave

In this system, the autoclave is connected with a special high pressure pump which can recirculate water/liquid continuously at very high velocity through the test spool & the autoclave connected in line with each other.

Autoclaves for study of Gas Hydrate Formation

Autoclaves for observation of gas hydrate formation

Amar manufactures & supplies systems for Hydrogen Induced Disbonding (HID) tests as per ASTM G146. These tests are used to simulate & study the effects of hydrogen environment under very high pressures from 150 - 250 bar & temperatures from 400 - 500°C on bimetallic plates that are to be used under similar conditions in refineries. The results indicate the resistance of bimetallic steels & its alloy to hydrogen induced disbonding. Such tests can be used to decide the material metallurgy, its heat treatment, manufacturing & fabrication technology for use in refineries in similar environments. The system can be manually operated or completely automated.

Initially the test samples are put inside the vessel, pressurized with hydrogen to very high pressure upto 150 - 200 bar & then heated to desired temperature of around 400 - 500°C for a period of around 48 hrs. After the test is over, the vessel is cooled at a pre-defined rate of around 150°C/hr till the temperature reaches 200°C. The vessel pressure is then released completely & cooled further to remove the test samples.

High pressure vessel system for hydrogen induced disbonding tests

Gas hydrates are inclusion compounds of gases in a lattice of water molecules. Huge amounts of methane are stored around the world under the sea floor in the form of solid methane hydrates. Methane hydrates, represent a new and completely untapped reservoir of fossil fuel, because they contain, immense amounts of methane, which is the main component of natural gas. Methane hydrates belong to a group of substances called Clathrates - substances in which one molecule type forms a crystal-like cage structure and encloses another type of molecule. If the cage-forming molecule is water, it is called a hydrate. If the molecule trapped in the water cage is a gas, it is a gas hydrate, like methane hydrate. Methane hydrate also poses problems during transportation of natural gas. Temperature and pressure conditions in pipelines especially in cold areas allow the formation of hydrates. These hydrates form agglomerates and tend to clog valves, pumps, pipelines and other parts. It is desirable to avoid the formation of hydrates rather than removal of existing hydrate due to economical and safety reasons. The production as well as study of artificial gas hydrates are done in special autoclaves like the gas hydrate autoclave System, under specific pressure and temperature conditions. At room temperature and normal atmospheric pressure, methane hydrate is unstable dissociating into water and gas. Pipeline conditions can be simulated in the gas hydrate autoclaves to check the effectiveness & optimization of hydrate-inhibitors. Pressure-resistant borosilicate / quartz / sapphire-glass windows in the gas hydrate autoclaves allows the use of one or multiple boroscope-cameras for observing or recording the processes of gas hydrate formation inside the autoclave. The autoclaves can also be provided with magnetic stirrer to simulate turbulent mixing conditions. Overhead stirrer can be connected to a torque sensor to perform torque measurements to study viscosity changes. Refer page 42 for 25 ltr gas hydrate system.

The catalyst basket can be static which is stationary (CBS) or dynamic (CBD) which rotates with the impeller.

Catalyst Basket (CBS/CBD)

These are small 7 microns SS 316 sintered cup filters which are threaded to bottom of the sampling dip tube so that the catalyst does not come out while sampling liquid. It is very useful when the catalyst is expensive or pyrophoric. These filters may reduce the rate/ flow of the sampling liquid due to the resistance offered by the fine mesh, hence they need regular cleaning to prevent choking. Filters are available for 500 ml - 100 ltr autoclaves.

a) Different micron sizes

b) Materials: Hastelloy COptional:

Catalyst Filters (CF)

Metal

It is used for one time catalyst charging under pressure during the reaction. It consists of a 3 ml to 150 ml (depending on Autoclave size) small container with airtight cap, which is openable. The powder is filled in the container which is then threaded to the autoclave head from below to a separate port with needle valve on the top. Under atmospheric & pressurized conditions the powder remains inside the container as the cap remains closed.

One has to apply gas pressure greater than autoclave pressure from the needle valve on that port so that the cap opens & releases the catalyst inside the autoclave under pressure.

Depending on the optional accessories selected, the catalyst addition device may not be possible due to space constraint on the head. Available for autoclave sizes 100 ml - 100 ltr & upto 250°C.

Catalyst Addition Device (CAD)

Glass

It consists of vertical SS sintered filter cartridges in a SS housing. After the batch is over the reactor liquid is transferred to the catalyst filter under reactor/nitrogen pressure. After filtration is over, catalyst is taken back in to the reactor by back washing, thus recycling the same & making it available for the next batch. Thus catalyst is never exposed to atmosphere & is reused. Generally this system is suitable & available for 2 ltr to 2000 ltr reactor volume. These filters are available with zero hold-up volume.

Catalyst Filtration & Recycling System (CFR)

It is a pressure reactor with magnetic drive stirring, inlet & outlet valves, pressure gauge & nitrogen/vent. Solvent & catalyst are charged in the vessel & the slurry formed by mixing is transferred under nitrogen pressure into the reactor.
