Case Study No: CS1019

Situation

Previously used an oil bath or Heat-On block with inefficient manual control of pH, exothermic reactions and data logging.

Objectives

  1. Improve percentage yield and product quality.
  2. Automate pH feedback control and automatic cooling whenever an exothermic reaction occurred.
  3. Capture and log all data and events automatically.

Results

  1. All devices interlinked, automatically controlled and data logged – temperature control circulator, overhead stirrer, balance, vacuum level setting, peristaltic pump, pH.
  2. The net result was a greater amount of better products with comprehensive data recorded.
