Scale-Up
This scale‑up system is designed for testing syngas and CO₂ conversion reactions using catalyst quantities in the range of 5–20 g.
Typical example reactions include Fischer–Tropsch synthesis, methanol synthesis, and the production of sustainable aviation fuels (SAF).
The system is equipped with a single fixed‑bed reactor, including hot and cold product separation, and is designed for unattended 24/7 operation.
