Amar has been a pioneer, largest manufacturer, and exporter of continuous flow reactors in India since many years. Amar Flow reactors are used by various industries like fine & speciality chemicals, bulk drugs (API) pharmaceuticals, dyes, intermediates, paints, agrochemicals, etc. to convert their batch chemistries to continuous flow.
Stirred Tanks commonly used in the industry are completely back-mixed reactors meaning the concentration in the reactor is same as the outlet of the reactor- this greatly reduces the reduction rates. Plug flow reactors are an alternative to stirred tanks where the concentration varies in the axial direction of the reactor. Tubular reactor showcases a plug-flow behaviour but the radical mixing in the tubes is limited. AMaR-3 3D flow reactor flow pattern has the three-dimensional nature and provides more volume for processing than conventional microchannel devices. The conical section arranged in geometry provides converging and diverging flow pattern. The advantage of flow profile is beneficial for increased mass transfer.
AMaR-3 reactor promotes a converging-diverging flow pattern which gives very effective radial mixing. Hence its suitable for reactions which are mass-transfer limiting. For example, many liquid-liquid immiscible reactions and gas-liquid reactions. Some applications include halogenations, oxidation, carbonylation, carboxylation, condensation, etc.

Apart from our standard specifications we also provide additional value-added optional accessories to enhance the versatility and functionality of the equipment for various applications. Some of the components that we provide as a part of our flow reactor systems :
This system is used to charge liquid at a desired rate from as low as 1ml/hr, is under pressurized condition.
It is SS316 regulator mounted on the vent line of the reactor &is used for maintaining constant pressure inside the reactor up to 350bar. The pressure is maintained by releasing the excess pressure into the atmosphere.
Optional
MFM can be used to measure accurate mass flow rate of gas (in gm/hr or LPH) & totalized quantity of mass/volume (in gm/ltr) charged in the reactor at any point. Mass flow controller (MFC) is used to charge the set flow rate of gas into the reactor at high pressures up to 100bar. The same MFM/MFC comes with high pressure flexible hose, inlet filter with digital gas flow indicator.
It consists of SS316 pressure sensor (transmitter) & digital pressure indicator/ controller (mounted on common control panel) with pressure alarm.
This unit is used to separate plug flow of two immiscible liquids used in biphasic reaction or two phases of an extraction flow.
MOC: ETFE, PFA & PTFE, pressure @ 300 psi.
Control Panel consists of programmable PID temperature controller cum indicator with temperature alarm system (settable), safety alarm & heater trip system for malfunctioning of controller/sensor/ temperature rise beyond set limit. Digital pressure indicator/ controller, gas/liquid flow indicator, totalizer, heater, level, pH etc. Indicators are provided additionally on same common control panel depending on the optional accessories are selected.
