HEL Ltd

HEL installed 2 new reaction systems at the SPEL Laboratories, Imperial College, to be used to aid research in developing a fundamental understanding in the area of pharmaceutical particle engineering.

HEL’s parallel high pressure reaction development platform – widely used for catalyst development studies including hydrogenation – has been overhauled and updated to increase flexibility and provide better temperature control features.

HEL has developed a touch screen controller with a simple control and data logging interface. The design specification was created by chemists and the usability has been tested and perfected with chemists’ needs in mind.

Safety testing is best performed under adiabatic conditions as this typically the worst case scenario. HEL has developed a custom Battery Testing Calorimeter (BTC) based on the industry standard “ARC” calorimeter developed by Dow Chemicals.
