Adiabatic reaction calorimeters, such as the APTAC (photo), are used in the CPI to help ensure processes run securely and efficiently. These minireactors measure the thermal and pressure rise of most exothermic reactions in accordance with ASTM E1981. The resulting data help identify potential risks affecting process safety and optimization as well as the storage and thermal stability of chemicals. Process interruptions can be minimized and the onset of thermal runaway reactions in the minireactor can be translated to the real production process (upscaling).
