High Pressure Reactor Enables Breakthrough in Catalyst Research
June 2026
The Challenge
A prestigious research institute was developing a new catalyst for converting CO₂ into methanol. They needed a high pressure reactor that could operate at 300°C and 200 bar with precise temperature and pressure control, as well as automated data logging.
The Solution
Krivalis provided a custom‑designed high pressure reactor with Hastelloy C276 construction, a touchscreen control system with remote monitoring, and integrated safety features. The reactor was delivered with a full validation package and training for the research team.
The Results
- 30% increase in catalyst efficiency compared to previous designs
- Reduced development time from 18 months to 12 months
- Reproducible results with RSD < 2% across multiple runs
- Seamless integration with the institute's existing data management system
Quote from the lead researcher: "Krivalis's reactor exceeded our expectations. The precision control and reliability allowed us to accelerate our research significantly. We've already ordered a second unit for our pilot plant."
