Flexible Pilot-Scale Solutions for Research and Production

Overview

Atommek Universal Pilot Units are modular, versatile systems designed for pilot-scale research, testing, and small-scale production across multiple industries. These units allow for flexible process testing, optimization, and scale-up before full-scale industrial implementation.

Pilot units are ideal for:

  • Testing new formulations or processes
  • Process optimization and validation
  • Scale-up studies for industrial production

Application Industries

  • Pharmaceutical Industry
  • Chemical Industry
  • Food & Beverage Industry
  • Polymer & Resin Industry
  • Petrochemical Industry

Unit Types

Atommek Universal Pilot Units are highly modular and can be configured for different pilot-scale applications:

  • Reaction Pilot Units: For testing chemical reactions at small scale.
  • Evaporation Pilot Units: For thin film or other evaporation process tests.
  • Blending & Mixing Pilot Units: Small-scale homogenization and blending.
  • Filtration Pilot Units: Pilot-scale separation and filtration testing.
  • Heating & Cooling Units: For thermal process control during pilot studies.

Units can be customized to meet the precise requirements of the process being tested.

Process

The Atommek Universal Pilot Unit process is designed for flexibility and adaptability:

  1. Feed Material Loading: Raw materials or formulations are introduced into the pilot system.
  2. Process Operation: The unit performs the desired process (reaction, evaporation, blending, etc.) under controlled conditions.
  3. Monitoring & Control: Automated sensors and PLC systems track temperature, pressure, flow rate, and other critical parameters.
  4. Sample Collection: Pilot-scale samples are collected for analysis, optimization, and validation.
  5. Process Adjustment: Parameters can be adjusted in real-time to optimize outcomes.
  6. Data Recording: Process data is recorded for scale-up and industrial application.

Features & Advantages

  • Modular Design: Easily configurable for multiple process types.
  • Flexible Operation: Supports a wide range of pilot-scale experiments.
  • Process Monitoring: PLC control and sensor integration for precise operation.
  • Data-Driven Optimization: Pilot data supports process scale-up and validation.
  • High Safety Standards: Designed with safety features for pilot operation.
  • Compact & Space-Saving: Ideal for laboratory and pilot plant environments.
