Chemical reactions drive innovation across industries – from pharmaceuticals to food production. But precision is key: controlling flow and pressure can make or break your process. A typical challenge

A customer aims to optimize a chemical reaction by selecting the right combination and quantity of substances, while precisely regulating pressure and temperature—often with the help of a catalyst. Accurate gas flow control is essential to prevent reactor overflow and ensure reliable monitoring of the reaction, ideally using user-friendly instruments.

What we do

In addition to our flow controllers, we also offer pressure controllers that enable precise and constant regulation of system pressure. With our FLEXI-FLOW Compact

series, both flow and pressure control functions are integrated into a single instrument, providing maximum flexibility and ease of use. For applications requiring separate devices, our EL-PRESS and IN-PRESS series feature dedicated pressure controllers, ensuring accurate and reliable pressure management for your chemical reactor processes.

Three digital control modes can be selected by the customer:

  1. Pressure control with flow measurement
  2. Flow control with pressure monitoring
  3. Combined flow and pressure control using PID regulation (Proportional-Integral-Derivative)

This flexible setup enables safe, precise, and automated chemical reaction management without hardware changes.

Simple and economical

This compact and cost-effective setup offers three control configurations in one, with preconfigured presets and seamless digital monitoring via Bronkhorst FlowSuite software.

The instruments ensure safe, overflow-free operation and are available in both lab-style (IP40) and rugged industrial (IP65, ATEX Zone 2) versions.
