A small volume of the chemical is supplied to a microreactor during tests of organic synthesis.

• To control the reaction precisely, it is necessary to transfer the liquid with a continuous, constant flow and no pulsation.
• The transfer liquid is butyllithium, which ignites when exposed to air, so this liquid must not leak.
• To inject the liquid into a narrow flow path, a discharge pressure of 10 MPa is required.
• Safety countermeasures against issues such as piping blockage are necessary, but safety valves and other such branch piping cannot be attached to the piping.

We suggested that the customer use a Smoothflow Pump, and they agreed to this proposal.

• Because the liquid can be supplied with a continuous, constant flow and no pulsation, it became possible to easily control the reaction.
• The completely sealed structure does not include any shaft seals, so it is now possible to safely transfer the liquid without any leakage.
• The mechanism of the pump drive part has been improved, making it possible to support high pressure.
• The pump body has a built-in relief mechanism, which makes it possible to prevent abnormal pressure increases.
