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
- Improve percentage yield and product quality.
- Automate pH feedback control and automatic cooling whenever an exothermic reaction occurred.
- Capture and log all data and events automatically.
Results
- All devices interlinked, automatically controlled and data logged – temperature control circulator, overhead stirrer, balance, vacuum level setting, peristaltic pump, pH.
- The net result was a greater amount of better products with comprehensive data recorded.
