May 1st 2025 - Hydrolysis of Acetic Anhydride in a Fast-Batch Reactor Operating in Semi-Batch Mode
This third white paper in Dr. Benjamin Deadman’s series examines the PI QFlux® fast-batch reactor’s ability to control exothermic reactions under semi-batch conditions.
Building on previous findings, this study uses the hydrolysis of acetic anhydride to show how the PIQFlux®’s superior cooling enables tighter temperature control and 62% faster dosing compared to conventional systems.
The results highlight the reactor’s value in boosting efficiency and safety for challenging processes, paving the way for future work on selectivity and complex chemistries.

April 15th 2025 - Performance of Heated Reactions in Fast-Batch Reactors
This second white paper in Dr. Benjamin Deadman’s series focuses on the performance of the PI QFlux® fast-batch reactor—a technology offering a major leap forward in thermal efficiency for batch processing.
Building on the first instalment, which highlighted the PI QFlux® reactor’s ability to heat faster than conventional systems, this paper explores how that thermal advantage translates into significantly reduced reaction times for bimolecular processes.
The results show where the PI QFlux® system delivers the greatest productivity gains and lays the groundwork for future studies on its impact in more complex and exothermic reactions.

March 31st 2025 - Simulating Dynamic Thermal Conditions in Fast-Batch Reactors
Introducing the first in a series of white papers by Dr. Benjamin J. Deadman, focusing on the groundbreaking PI QFlux® system—a major advancement in fast-batch reactor technology. This installment highlights its superior thermal performance, which enhances productivity and selectivity in chemical processing.
To support this innovation, ReactorPy, a Python-based modeling tool, has been developed to simulate dynamic thermal conditions, enabling precise control and optimization of reactor performance.
Future papers will delve deeper into reaction kinetics and volume modifications, further unlocking the full potential of the PI QFlux® system.
