And that was the real challenge: <strong>achieving highly precise and simultaneous control of flow rate, pressure, and temperature while operating at extremely low flow rates<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The requirements initially ranged from 3 kg\/h at 1 barg to 7 kg\/h at 3 barg, but as the reactor design progressed <strong>,<\/strong> they were drastically reduced to a <strong>minimum of 25 g\/h and <\/strong>a maximum of <strong>2.5 kg\/h<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These values are <strong>two orders of magnitude below the typical range of an industrial steam generator<\/strong>. At that scale, any conventional equipment with heating elements and a boiler is ruled out: the thermal inertia of the accumulated water volume prevents the <strong>precise<\/strong> control <strong>required by a chemical process<\/strong>, and the pressure and temperature fluctuations associated with heating cycles are unacceptable when the steam is a reactant. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Added to this requirement was a challenge typical of an ongoing R&amp;D project: <strong>the design parameters continued to evolve<\/strong>. The client needed a system compatible with <strong>different scales of work<\/strong>, capable of supporting the project without falling short in the next iteration, and, at the same time, a proposal that would serve as a technical and financial reference for the overall sizing of the facility. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:64px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns alignwide are-vertically-aligned-center mb-0 has-body-main-color has-primary-20-background-color has-text-color has-background is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8f761849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center dnone-tablet is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:4.3%\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<div style=\"height:72px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer dnone-tablet\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"text-h6 has-secondary-color has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\">Proposed solution:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading text-h4\">Customized steam solution developed by Giconmes.<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center dnone-tablet is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:8.3%\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group alignwide\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns alignwide has-body-main-color has-primary-20-background-color has-text-color has-background is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8f761849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-top dnone-tablet is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:4.3%\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-top is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Proposed solution:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Giconmes<\/strong> introduced the <strong>NGV HP<\/strong> series, its line of <strong>precision steam generators<\/strong>, designed specifically for <strong>low-capacity scientific and industrial applications where <\/strong>steam must be delivered with <strong>strict control of flow rate, pressure, and temperature<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A operating principle different from that of a conventional generator. The NGV HP series <strong>does not use a boiler<\/strong>: a <strong>high-precision pump<\/strong> dispenses water directly onto an evaporator, where vaporization occurs instantly at the exact rate of water inflow. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Since there is no accumulated volume, <strong>the thermal inertia that prevents precise control disappears<\/strong>, and the steam flow rate is determined directly by the setpoint.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The system, which is controlled by a microprocessor-based controller, achieves the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Flow rate<\/strong>: control range <strong>from 0.1 g\/min to 100% of full scale<\/strong>, with an accuracy of<strong> \u00b11%<\/strong> under steady-state conditions and <strong>\u00b15%<\/strong> of full scale under transient conditions. Flow measurement is independent of back pressure. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Temperature<\/strong>: superheated steam adjustable between 100 and 200 \u00b0C (expandable to 400 \u00b0C), with an accuracy of \u00b12 \u00b0C.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Pressure<\/strong>: Standard operating range from 1 to 6 bar (abs), with options ranging from vacuum to 15 or 20 bar (abs).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>The steam produced is pure<\/strong>, requiring no carrier gas, and the system is fully operational within <strong>five minutes<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Although the expected flow rates were very low, the <strong>NGV HP-6000<\/strong> model <strong>(6 kW, up to 100 g\/min)<\/strong> was selected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The reason is strategic rather than thermal: since the control range starts at 0.1 g\/min, the equipment easily covers both the initial 25 g\/h and any subsequent reactor scaling, without compromising accuracy at the low end. The customer receives <strong>a single unit compatible with different operating ranges, avoiding the need to replace it in later phases of the project<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The generator features <strong>open-source control software written in <\/strong> <strong>Java<\/strong> and <strong>standard Modbus TCP <\/strong>connectivity (with Modbus RTU, RS232\/RS485, and a 4\u201320 mA analog signal available as options), allowing it to be operated and monitored remotely and integrated into the reactor control system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The materials in contact with water are <strong>PTFE, stainless steel, PEEK, and EPDM<\/strong>, and the fittings are <strong>Swagelok\u00ae<\/strong>, consistent with the standard equipment found in an experimental setup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:32px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size
