Could anyone provide the names of companies or individuals that have hydrogenation testing equipment of medium and small scale (reactor volume of 1 to 4 liters)?

We are currently conducting an experiment on the hydrogenation purification of used engine oil; a pilot test with a catalyst loading of 200 ml is in progress. At the same time, plans are in place to prepare the equipment for a 10x magnification experiment. Now we are looking for a unit that has this equipment, in order to rent it for amplification experiments. The temperature in our process is <300°C, and the pressure is <5 Mpa. There is basically no such information available online; I hope fellow sailors can provide some relevant information. Thank you very much!
Look for local research institutions and laboratories in the same industry, as well as universities with relevant specialties
In Shenyang, you can get in touch with the Fushun Research Institute; they definitely have it. But the estimated price is very high, and it’s not clear whether they can do it for you. Our unit also has such devices; the cost is 5,000 to 10,000 yuan per day, with analysis costs charged separately. And people like you, who are outside the system, generally won’t do it even if paid. Hehe
There are rental costs; it’s better to build one oneself!
Yes, I’ve consulted several agencies, and none of them rent out. It seems I’ll have to install a set of equipment by myself.
Well, indeed. If we refer to the daily cost at Haiyou downstairs, then the expense is really high. May I ask what the approximate total cost is for a set of equipment of this scale, including automatic control instruments and utility auxiliary equipment?
I really don’t know, but it’s likely in the millions; it depends a lot on the quality of the device you use. For steel pipes, collets, fittings, and valves, if all are chosen from Swagelok, the cost will naturally be higher; however, by paying more, one gains higher reliability and safety. You can ask a manufacturer that makes such experimental devices for a quote.
