Our C-Wave range of Continuous Microwave Flow Reactors achieve significant reductions in reaction times and an increase in yield, available for pilot scale through to production
C-Wave PLT
C-Wave PLT is a continuous microwave reactor designed for R&D and pilot scale development work. It can be supplied as a self-contained unit or for integration into other equipment. It is capable of handling flammable solvents and operating at high pressure. A unit is available for trial.
Continuous microwave chemistry is a better way to carry out many chemical reactions. Rapid and precise heating reduces side reactions and give improved yields. Volumes of reactants in the reactor at any one time are reduced and the power input control is instantaneous so that the whole process is safer and less wasteful.
