Polymerisation

Polymerization is a highly complex process in which monomers react under defined conditions to form polymers. Depending on the process - be it radical, cationic, anionic, emulsion, condensation or suspension polymerization - precise control of temperature, pressure, mixing ratios and kinetics is crucial for the properties of the final product. Challenges such as exothermic reactions, changes in viscosity during the process, or targeted control of molecular weights and polymer architectures can be overcome by precise automation.

Range of services:

• Flexibility for all polymerization types:emulsion, suspension, precipitation, condensation and radical polymerization
• Precise process control:automatic control of temperature, pressure, stirring speed and dosing
• Continuous monitoring:sensors for viscosity, monomer conversion and molecular weight distribution in real time
• Dynamic recipe management:control and adjustment of the initiator, catalyst and reactant supply depending on the progress of the reaction
• Security management:emergency shutdowns, automatic cooling strategies to control exothermic reactions
• Expandability:integration with distillation, filtration or extraction systems for downstream processing steps

Advantages of automation:

• Maximum process stability:precise control of critical parameters minimizes fluctuations in the end product
• Optimum product quality:real-time monitoring and adjustment of process conditions for targeted control of the polymer structure
• Safe working:warning messages and automatic intervention mechanisms in the event of temperature fluctuations or pressure deviations
• Increased efficiency:optimization of raw material use and energy consumption for economical processes
• Complete documentation:automatic logging of process parameters for quality assurance and scaling
• Higher reproducibility:consistent production through precise automation of reaction conditions
