The laboratory unit is designed to study the catalytic and thermal processes of processing heavy oil feedstock.
The installation allows you to explore the processes:
- Hydrocracking;
 - Thermal cracking;
 - Gasification of aqueous dispersions of coal, biomass, heavy oil residues.
 
The developed high-pressure liquid pump operates at temperatures up to 200°C, which makes it possible to feed high-viscosity components (fuel oil, tar, paraffin, ceresin, etc.) into the reactor.
The laboratory unit is manufactured in accordance with the technical requirements of the customer to operate in a wide range of process parameters. The modular configuration of the unit allows it to be changed or upgraded at any time to meet new challenges.

Main advantages:
- The possibility of developing and supplying the reactor according to the requirements of the customer;
 - Wide range of liquid/solid supply accessories;
 - Visual process control;
 - System of control and regulation of technological parameters;
 - Convenience of loading and unloading of feedstock and reaction products;
 - The possibility of conducting long-term tests in continuous mode;
 - The possibility of modernizing the design for new purposes;
 - Control and precise reproduction.
 
Completeness (the final delivery set depends on the terms of reference):
- Unit for preparation of gas-phase raw materials;
 - Block for preparation of carbonaceous raw materials;
 - Block of supply of carbonaceous raw materials;
 - Reactor block;
 - Separation, cleaning and drying unit;
 - Sampling unit;
 - Unit for measuring the volume of outgoing gas;
 - Control block.
