  • Hydrogenation Capacity At Robinson Brothers

Hydrogenation Capacity at Robinson Brothers

Robinson Brothers offers expertise in large-scale catalytic hydrogenation processes.

Hydrogenation facilities at Robinson Brothers include a flexible array of autoclaves coupled to multi-purpose vessels for a complete chemical manufacturing service. Manufacturing plants also have segregated solids handling facilities, typically having Rosenmund Guedu enclosed filter driers, and final product packing areas equipped with laminar flow booths.

Hydrogenation capabilities include:

  • Development scale hydrogenation autoclave reactors from 100ml to 30L.
  • Large- scale hydrogenation autoclave reactors from 900L to 4,500L fabricated in glass-lined, carbon steel and stainless steel.
  • Operable over a wide range of pressures and temperatures, up to 70bar pressure; up to 200°C temperature.
  • A range of transition metal and precious metal catalysts are used e.g Palladium (Pd), Platinum (Pt), Nickel (Ni), Ruthenium (Ru), Cobalt (Co) and Rhodium (Rh).

Robinson Brothers continues to invest in hydrogenation technology. The company recently invested £250k in the installation of a 30L development autoclave to support small-to-medium scale hydrogenation projects. Click to read more. The company plans to add advanced stirrer systems to high pressure autoclaves later on this year to improve efficiencies and throughput.

Robinson Brothers key technologies include:

Reductive amination: a range of speciality amine products are produced typically by the reaction of benzaldehyde’s with alkyl amines to form intermediate imines, followed by subsequent catalytic hydrogenation to yield the amine.

Selective catalytic reduction of naturally derived raw materials, e.g. phytochemicals & botanicals used for the production of intermediates and additives for the food, beverage, aroma and cosmetic markets.
