MPDS^® EVO

The implementation of a photochemical process from laboratory to production scale is impossible without the prior investigation of fundamental photochemical process parameters. By using the MPDS^®EVO in miniplant technology at the lab it is now possible to determine all photochemically relevant process parameters, such as the space-time yield, reaction kinetics, selection of suitable solvents, concentration and spectral absorption coefficient, optical path, etc. in a structured and reproducible way under supervision. In addition, different photochemical process methods can be compared and evaluated side by side.
With this, it is possible to select the correct application optimized industrial photoreactor out of the portfolio of Peschl Ultraviolet GmbH and thus it is easy to transfer the process into commercial scale. Photochemical reactions which are already performed in industrial scale can be traced and afterwards optimized in detail in the laboratory (down-scaling). With the reaction optimized and safe photoreactors from Peschl Ultraviolet, you are getting a highly efficient photochemical production plant with exceptional productivity.

1. Lamp

All wavelengths relevant to photochemistry

We provide a comprehensive range of lamps as standard products. Our products encompass the full spectral spectrum in photochemistry by employing both monochromatic and polychromatic light sources. Our state-of-the-art lamps, including UV-LEDs, daylight-emitting Xenon light sources, and mercury medium- or low-pressure lamps, exemplify the forefront of technology within our photoreactor systems. We measure and deliver the pertinent spectral energy distribution data for each light source. This guarantees that all gathered data is quantifiable, reproducible, and suitable for publication.

3. Photoreactor

Select the suitable standard photoreactor

We provide a comprehensive selection of photoreactors, ranging from batch to semi-batch and up to continuous flow models. Our offerings encompass Batch, Falling Film, Tubular Flow, Side-loop, Plate-flow, and Micro-flow photoreactors. Depending on your specific requirements, you can opt for photoreactors with capacities ranging from 2 ml to 5,000 ml. Additionally, we can create bespoke photoreactors tailored to your needs upon request.

Most of our reactors are equipped with multiple access points for optical measurements, sampling, gas injection, or inertisation. Our standard is clear: all reactors designed for laboratory use can also be scaled up to meet industrial demands.

5. CONTROL Cabinet with PLC

for measuring, controlling and regulating

The controlCABINET with integrated PLC (processCONTROL) is an extension module within the MPDS^®EVO process development system stepping into a scalable and reproducible mini plant system. By using the MPDS^®EVO in miniplant technology in the laboratory, it is possible to determine all photochemically relevant process parameters such as space-time yield, reaction kinetics, selection of suitable solvents, concentration, spectral absorption coefficient as well as optical path length, etc.. In addition, different photochemical process methods can be compared and evaluated side by side. Only with the basic process parameters obtained, the feasibility and cost of photochemical processes can be assessed (CAPEX / OPEX).

In addition, the controlCABINET can be used to store rack modules such as power supplies, cooling units or spectrophotometers for a structured and safe handling. The control CABINET is supplied by the photonCABINET via a coded system cable.
