Merrow Scientific is a UK based supplier of laboratory instruments for chemistry and chemical engineering type research. Systems include laboratory stirred and fixed bed reactors; pressure vessels; volumetric and gravimetric sorption analysers for gas and/or vapour adsorption. Applications include surface area measurement, porosity, catalyst characterisation, gas adsorption isotherms, new fuel and much more...
Merrow Scientific are the UK technical sales partner for a number of overseas manufacturers of laboratory instrumentation, inline sensors and processing equipment. These manufacturers are based in various countries around the world (Europe, USA, Japan, Canada) and through Merrow Scientific have a local presence in the UK. Many of these systems are actively used for either improving the energy efficiency of processing or for the research, development and production of new alternative energy/fuel sources.
We supply these products to the Pharmaceutical, Chemical, Food, Petrochemical and other associated industries in the UK and Ireland. We also supply to and have many links with the leading Universities.
Laboratory Instrumentation
Our wide range of systems come from various exclusive partnerships with companies including Autoclave Engineers, BEL, Rubotherm, WRK, Lamy Rheology and InProcess Instruments; details of these companies can be seen by going through our links and partners section.
Applications
Our core business is focused in the chemical engineering and chemical type industries and associated Universities. Typical applications include:
- Catalyst characterisation
- Coal or biomass gasification
- Fischer Tropsch and other new/alternative fuel research
- Specific surface area and porosity measurement
- Gas storage research
- Fuel cell research
- Corrosion testing
- Filter material evaluation
- Effluent treatment
- Biodiesel development
- Viscosity and rheology
- And much more
These applications are not specific to the industries and Universities mentioned above so as such we have customers in all areas and fields of research and processing.
Products
Through our global links we have established a unique and comprehensive group of products including:
- Fixed bed and laboratory stirred reactors
- High pressure vessels
- Gas and vapour mixing and dosing systems
- High pressure valves, fittings and tubing
- Volumetric sorption measuring instruments (specific area and porosity measurement, chemisorption and vapour sorption)
- High temperature reactors
- Thermal Gravimetric Analysis (High Pressures, Vapours, Corrosive, Toxic environments possible)
- Gravimetric sorption analysers (including up to pressures of 2000bar and temperatures of 2000degC)
- Viscometers and rheometers
- Online mass spectrometers
- Contract analysis, research and development
Inline Sensors
Our range of inline sensors include:
- Inline moisture measurement sensors - for bulk solids, powders, granules, pellets, chips etc
- Inline viscometers
- Online mass spectrometers for online gas analysis
These systems manufactured by our overseas partners are available for a variety of applications to allow tight process and product monitoring and control, maximise energy efficiency of a process, and reduce the amount of waste and off spec product produced.
Processing Systems
We also supply a range of processing equipment in the UK, including:
- Solex Thermal Science systems for cooling, heating or drying bulk solids, powders, granules, pellets, chips etc
- High pressure vessels for any pressure related production or testing (e.g. deep sea component testing, downhole simulation)
- Effluent treatment systems
- Biodiesel production
- Hydrogen production from biomass
These systems are utilised in a variety of industries for improving the efficiency of their process (in the case of the Solex systems - which offer massive energy savings Vs other technologies), or for the development of new alternative energy sources.
