Autoclave Specifications
Head Mounting Style
Removable head design
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.
Optional:
a) Fixed head design with raising & lowering
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.
b) Fixed head design with raising, lowering & tilting

Body & Head Sealing


i) Split clamp bolt design: (c) (e)
Split clamp type quick opening system with clamp bolts & tongue & groove sealing with PTFE
head gasket for temperatures upto 300°C & metallic grafoil head gasket for temperatures
upto 500°C.
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.
iii) Threaded sealing:
For 50 ml - 250 ml vessels there is alternative 'O' ring seal design with threaded clamp &
threaded vessel for ease of opening & tightening by hand. This design can be offered for
pressures upto 700 bar & temperature upto 225°C for Viton & 275°C for Kalrez 'O' ring.

Zero Leakage Magnetic Drive Coupling


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 Outer rotor
stationary shell is threaded / bolted to reactor head & completely isolates Outer magnet
the external rotor from the inner rotor. As the external rotor rotates, the Inner magnet
internal rotor also rotates in synchronism. The reactor’s shaft is threaded
/ bolted / keyed to the inner rotor. High energy permanent rare earth Inner rotor
magnets are fixed inside the inner & outer rotors. A water cooling jacket
protects the magnets & other components from excessive temperature
arising from the reactor. Cooling jacket

Salient features
• Suitable upto 700 bar & 500°C
• 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- Housing threaded
1000 hrs of working depending on application & is limited by maximum to reactor lid
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
Cross-sectional view of magnetic
• The coupling is flexible & hence any over load results in coupling drive coupling for high pressure
slippage, thus preventing any damage to coupling, shaft or motor application (M series)

Process description for lab-scale plants


The Carbon dioxide gas from the cylinder is first liquefied & then pressurized Separator
above the critical pressure of CO2 (73.8 bar) to the required pressure
necessary for extraction. This high pressure liquid CO2 is then heated above
CO2 Pump
the critical temperature of CO2 (31 °C) to the required temperature. CO2 Preheater Condenser
which is now in supercritical phase (SCCO2) enters the extractor where the
raw material is fed in powder form & the extraction is achieved on the basis
of solubility. The compounds dissolved in SCCO2 finally come to the
separator at atmospheric pressure & get precipitated. CO2 leaving the
separator is then measured by passing it through a CO2 gas flow meter. Brine chiller

Process description for commercial scale plant


The raw material in powder form is fed to the extractor. The liquid carbon
dioxide from the CO2 tank is precooled by passing it through the precooler.
This precooled liquid carbon dioxide is then pressurized by means of a
positive displacement plunger pump to a pressure above the critical
pressure of C02 (i.e. 73.8 bar). High pressure liquid CO2 is then heated above
the critical temperature of CO2 (i.e 31 °C) by passing it through preheater. CO2
which is now in the supercritical state enters the extractor in which the raw
material is loaded. The SCCO2 dissolves substances on the basis of solubility,
depending on operating conditions. The SCCO2 with soluble extracts enters
the separators where the pressure & temperature are reduced sequentially
so that solubility decreases & extract precipitates in the separators. Finally
the clean CO2 without any traces is recycled back to the CO2 tank via
condenser.

Autoclaves for observation of gas hydrate formation


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.

High pressure vessel system for hydrogen induced disbonding tests


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.

Pressure vessels for soaking of diamonds & precious stones


• High pressure high temperature pressure vessels are often used to purify & improve the
finish of diamonds & precious stones by subjecting them to high pressure & temperature
conditions.

Optional Accessories
Liners (LN)
Removable PTFE / Metal / Glass liners can be offered for autoclaves from 100 ml - 25 ltr. These
liners can be used for reactions that are corrosive, to prevent the autoclave body from corrosion.
PTFE & glass liners can be used upto 200°C & metal upto 500°C. The heat transfer is poor with
PTFE & glass liners. Glass liners cannot be fabricated accurately. Hence, Amar recommends the
use of completely corrosion resistant metal autoclaves made from special alloys like Hastelloy,
Inconel, Titanium etc. over glass/teflon liners. Liners should be used only if cost is the constraint
or corrosive chemicals are to be used sparingly. Metal liners can be offered in Hastelloy C ,
Inconel , Monel , Titanium etc. Teflon Metal Glass

Catalyst Basket (CBS/CBD)


It is provided to improve the efficiency of the catalysts & for holding the catalyst so that it will
not be destroyed or changed by the stirring action of impeller. The baskets are made from SS316
wire mesh & connected to the stirrer so that they rotate with the stirrer. It is available for 450 ml-
100 ltr autoclaves. The catalyst basket can be static which is stationary (CBS) or dynamic (CBD)
which rotates with the impeller.

Catalyst Filters (CF)


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.
Optional: a) Different micron sizes
b) Materials: Hastelloy C

Catalyst Addition Device (CAD)


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 Filtration & Recycling System (CFR)


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.
For small autoclaves

Catalyst Slurry Charging System (CSC)


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. The pressure rating & volume of this
system is designed depending on the quantity of catalyst, pressure & temperature rating of the
autoclave. Specially designed control system developed by Amar can be offered to charge the
catalyst slurry in continuous mode at a pre-defined flow rate under pressure. This is very useful
for CSTR, where no suitable pumps are available for slurry. This system is available for any
reactor volume, pressures upto 350 bar & for a wide range materials.

Optional Accessories
Catch Pot (CP)
It is used to collect the vent vapours / gases from the autoclave vent / rupture disc /
safety valve port, when the vapour / gas is highly hazardous & cannot be released
directly into the atmosphere. It is a pressure vessel, designed depending on volume of
autoclave & its design pressure. It is provided with inlet, outlet, vent, dip tubes, pressure
gauge, safety valve & optionally a flame / flash back arrester. It is normally filled with
water. The gases / vapours collected are safely released through the flame / flash back
arrester to avoid any hazard. It is suitable & available for any autoclave volume.

Vacuum Pump (VP)


Suitable rotary vane or diaphragm oil fee vacuum pumps can be supplied for vacuum
from 100 mbar upto 0.001 mbar in the reactor. It is used either before starting the batch
or for high vacuum distillation. Suitable analogue or digital vacuum indicator with
controller can be offered on request. The reactor fittings would change for very high
vacuum & this may limit its pressure rating

View Windows / Light & Sight Glass (SG)


These are quartz / sapphire view glass windows / light & sight glass of small diameter or
along the length of the vessel with special cameras & software for continuous online
viewing / recording in jacketed vessels to see the reaction. Suitable for high pressures
upto 200 bar & any autoclave / reactor volume.

In Situ FTIR Spectroscopy (IR) Multiple view Round view Sight glass along
windows window the vessel length
In situ high temperature, high pressure infrared (IR) probe is offered for real time
chemical reaction monitoring. It provides specific information about reaction initiation,
conversion, intermediates & end point. Suitable for 1 ltr to 100 ltr reactors upto 100 bar
& 200°C.

Other Accessories / Options


a) Level transmitter (LT) / switch (LS) with indicator to measure or maintain level inside the
reactor under high pressure. Used mainly in CSTR.
b) pH/ turbidity (TB) / DO / ORP sensors with indicators & controllers for high pressure &
temperature application. pH can be controlled automatically by variable speed acid & base
metering pumps.
c) Sampling pot with condenser for cooling / condensing & collecting the sample taken at high
pressure & temperature.
d) Torque sensor for accurate measurement of the motor torque, where change in torque
indicates change in viscosity of the reaction.
e) High pressure ultrasound transducer for high frequency mixing.
f) Ex-proof certified gas purge panels for electrical accessories / utilities like heating cooling
circulators etc.
