"We needed bespoke fixed bed reactors for Fischer-Tropsch chemistry. It was important that the unit was tailored exactly to our needs and we wanted to see good engineering capabilities and an understanding of the chemistry involved. The ILS parallel reactor system has dramatically increased our throughput while still being accurate and reproducible. It’s opened up new areas of research and the enhanced internal abilities have helped us to save the money we would have spent externally. We’re now in the loop more with our internal customers. You should work with ILS. They can build you whatever you want and it will be a very good working relationship."

"We were looking for a 20-reactor system for hydrogenation studies. It was important that it was simple to use, at a competitive price, and small footprint. We wanted a company which we could trust to deliver this. The ILS reactor system has worked very well and been a very reliable unit. It’s a real workhorse! We’ve found it a very cost effective research tool and saved time in our projects, and I’d recommend ILS to anyone considering working with them."

"We needed to conduct reactions in parallel using liquefied gases. We wanted to use unusual mixtures of different reagents and precise dosing was very important. The system had to be able to handle inflammable materials and operate with very low levels of water and oxygen. Safety was critical, and we were looking for a flexible company which could create the right system for our needs. The unit has allowed us to qualify new raw materials far more quickly which helped our overall business. We’ve been able to find the right conditions for synthesising special polyolefins. I would definitely recommend ILS. Approach them with a problem and they will find and build the right solution for you."

"We wanted to replace an old single reactor system with parallel reactors capable of reaching higher temperatures and utilising faster temperature ramp rates. It was important to have an independent unit which was simple to operate. We wanted to work with a company with good engineering capabilities. We now have more screening power which helps us to run projects more quickly. We use this enhanced capability as a selling point to our customers and I’m very happy with what ILS have provided. We worked together like partners and they gave us exactly what we needed."

"Before working with ILS Scania could only perform tests in engine test beds. The rig which ILS designed and built for us allows a far more systematic evaluation of catalysts under a variety of conditions. You can test different variables and isolate effects, unlike in a full engine environment, to learn far more from your experiments. In a benchmark study of 3-way catalysts which Scania completed the ILS unit saved at least 30% of normal time and effort."
