Redeem Photo-reactor Harnesses the Energy of Light for Sustainable Chemical Conversions
Redeems Photo-reactor represents a revolutionary approach to chemical transformations by leveraging the power of light through photocatalysis. This innovative concept is based on the Redeem Flow-reactor design and merges the advantages of photo-chemistry with the efficiency of flow chemistry, offering a cutting-edge solution for various industries. At the core of the Redeem Photo-Panel is the patented Redeem photo-catalytic technology, which serves as the foundation for producing a diverse range of chemicals, from sustainable chemicals to green hydrogen.
What sets the Redeem Photo-reactor apart is its unique design that encapsulates a solid photo-catalyst developed by Redeem, ensuring unparalleled catalyst performance and longevity without the need for frequent recycling. This design exists in 10 different configurations each has been meticulously crafted using extensive 3D modeling, Computational Fluid Dynamics CFD, and process simulation tools to optimize liquid flow patterns and ensure exceptional catalyst stability.
The Redeem Scientific Team has developed and patented unique catalyst formulations that yields highly stable and high-performing photo-catalysts. These catalysts enable reactions to occur using UV and visible light, showcasing our commitment to sustainable and eco-friendly practices.
The synergy between the Redeem Photo-reactor and Photo-catalyst is paramount. The reactor is designed to maximize the surface area available for light interaction with the catalyst, while the catalyst is tailor-made for long-term stability and exceptional performance under UV and visible light spectrum. This cohesive design ensures optimal functionality and efficiency, making Redeem Solar Technologies a leader in innovative chemical processes.
One of the standout features of Redeem Photo-reactor is the optional embedded membrane, which facilitates co-current gas separation or addition within the reaction device itself. This innovative feature streamlines processes and enhances overall efficiency, making it a game-changer for chemical production.
THE PROCESS
Implementation of the Redeem Photo-reactor in your process begins with the careful selection of the appropriate reactor configuration and photo-catalyst formulation from the Redeem library. For instance, in the case of water splitting for hydrogen production, a specific catalyst and reactor configuration are chosen. Once the system is set up, the reactor is tested on a lab scale in the Redeem Micro Photo-reactor before scaling up in the Redeem Maxi Photo-reactor.
During operation, the liquid, in this case, water, is pumped through the reactor while being exposed to light. This light penetrates the reactor and is absorbed by the photo-catalyst, initiating a photo-chemical reaction. The activated photo-catalyst transfers the energy from light into the water molecules, leading to the splitting of water into oxygen and hydrogen gas.
To separate the hydrogen and oxygen gases, the mixture passes over a membrane within the reactor. This membrane efficiently separates the hydrogen from the remaining stream, which is then directed to the hydrogen consumption site for various applications. The unreacted water is reintroduced into the system while oxygen is vented or sent to downstream processing, completing the cycle.
This process exemplifies how Redeem Photo-reactors facilitate chemical transformations using light as the driving force. Whether it's water splitting, oxidation, reduction, or any other photo-chemical reaction, this innovative approach offers a sustainable and efficient method for producing valuable chemicals and fuels while minimizing environmental impact.
SCALABILITY, FROM LAB TO PRODUCTION
At Redeem, we understand that innovation in chemical processes begins with ideas tested in the laboratory. Our reactors are designed to empower scientists with a straightforward testing platform on a small scale, allowing them to validate hypotheses efficiently. As promising processes evolve and the need for on scale production arises, our larger units seamlessly transition into action without the need for extensive re-engineering.
Scaling up production is a natural progression, and Redeem offers flexible solutions to meet various production scales. Whether it's through numbering out (replicating units) for specific processes or utilizing larger reactor models tailored to customer needs, our reactors ensure a smooth transition to production scale. This scalability is inherent in our design, allowing different-sized reactors to work seamlessly together, in series or parallel, maximizing efficiency and productivity.
