Intelligent Continuous Collection Device for High-Pressure Flow Synthesis: Design and Implementation

An automated collection/diversion device for high-pressure continuous flow synthesis is introduced. Integration of sampling and collection functions with decision-making capabilities to handle process disruptions is detailed. A device to mitigate pressure swing effects of reciprocal pump systems is also described. System performance is evaluated by simulating fast and slow chemical processes and change of critical reaction parameters, including the ones that involve flow catalysis.
