We can offer accurate and customized flow solutions for the Process Industry, in particular to the (Petro) Chemical, Plastics, Metal and Glass Industry. Download our Plastics & Rubber Market Brochure Examples of applications Accurate dosing of chemical catalysts and additives, e.g. colorants, plasticizers, stabilizers and processing aids. Leak detection Control of burner gases Pressure control in plastic extrusion and/or molding processes Gas flow control for polymeric foam products such as mattresses, carpets, sponges or car seats Oxygen control in decarbonation processes (laser or plasma) cutting, welding and brazing applications APPLICATION NOTES Liquefied gas dosing In this application a WADose high pressure pump, a simple yet complete solution, has been used for dosing low-flow liquefied gases. View application note Research graphene production The University of Cordoba in Spain investigates the production of high-quality graphene on a large scale by using an atmospheric pressure plasma-based technique. View application note Accurate dosing of small organic solvent flows Within chemical industry, the supply of organic solvents is a frequently occurring operation. In this context, Bronkhorst delivers devices to accurately dose small flows of organic solvent. View application note Back-pressure regulation for catalyst research Catalysts are substances that allow chemical reactions to proceed at lower temperatures. Many chemical reactions that involve catalysts still occur under extreme conditions, e.g. Fischer-Tropsch reactions. View application note 3D Printing of metal products Bronkhorst was able to help a machine builder, who makes 3D-printing machines that print metal parts out of steel, aluminium or titanium powder using selective laser melting. View application note Liquid CO2 dosing for polystyrene foam extrusion Extrusion is an effective technique to manufacture products with a uniform, even complex cross section. View application note Catalysis at high pressure Catalysts are being used to accelerate a chemical reaction without actually being consumed. So a small amount of catalyst is sufficient to obtain a large amount of reaction products. View application note Reactor Systems In Research and Development laboratories of (petro-) chemical companies as well as pharmaceutical companies or life science companies, chemical reactors are used for many different processes. View application note Burner control Bronkhorst offers mass flow meters with a close coupled motorized valve for integrated control of flows up to 10000 ln/min. Our digital D-6300 MASS-STREAM series is available with several options like a multi-functional display or additional interfaces. View application note Burner applications - Ratio Control Burners are usually found in welding, cutting or furnace applications. All these applications require an extremely efficient flame control. Gas flow has got a preponderant role on achieving good characteristics of combustion flame. View application note Micro Reactor Technology Due to the needs for higher yields, enhanced efficiency, improved safety and minimized environmental risk, the chemical industry seeks alternatives to the conventional batch reactors. The industry trend is to adopt micro reactors as an alternative method especially for organic synthesis of extremely exothermic (im)miscible fluids. View application note Gas supply in steelmaking process In steelmaking, blast furnaces convert iron ore into crude iron by the reducing action of carbon at high temperatures. This crude iron or ‘pig iron’ still contains a lot of carbon and other impurities that need to be removed, partially or totally, by a reaction with oxygen. View application note Highly accurate dosing of nitrobenzene Nitrobenzene is a pale-yellow coloured organic compound with chemical formula C6H5NO2. This liquid compound is mainly used as a precursor for the synthesis of the organic compound aniline, which, in turn, is a precursor for many industrial compounds. View application note Other markets Bronkhorst instruments are used for numerous applications in many different markets. They can be found in laboratories, universities, industry, production and pilot plants and even in areas or installations with risk of explosion. A substantial part of the produced instruments is integrated in manufacturing machines or equipment of so called OEM-customers (Original Equipment Manufacturers).
