THT is hosting online educational product webinars for the process safety industry. The series consists of two webinars taking place on 26th January and 9th February. Register once and stay registered for the entire series.
The first webinar will present the will focus on the µRC Micro Reaction Calorimeter; explaining its applications beyond scale-up and reaction calorimetry itself. A micro reaction calorimeter is also a scanning calorimeter, an isothermal calorimeter (sensitive enough for stability studies), a properties calorimeter (for heat of solution, mixing and specific heat capacity) and an isothermal titration calorimeter. The hydrogenation option to measure the enthalpy change that occurs during catalytic hydrogenation will also be presented along with the gas flow option.
The other webinar in the series will present the esARC Accelerating Rate Calorimeter. This technology is the number one choice for quantifying exothermic reactions, effect of heat upon materials and simulating runaway reactions. The presentation will cover process safety considerations and theoretical background of ARC measurements. Data analysis to yield TMR, ADT24, TNR and SADT will also be discussed.
Each webinar is followed by a Q&A session with the speaker. Register for the free series now.

The µRC Micro Reaction Calorimeter - Applications for the Chemical & Pharmaceutical Industry
10:00am GMT UK | 11am CET Europe | 3:30pm IST India
Micro-reaction calorimetry can rapidly determine exothermic and endothermic reaction enthalpies, as well as perform thermal characterization for applications beyond scaleup. Micro-reaction calorimeters can perform thermal, isothermal, titration, and temperature-scanning studies to determine heat capacities, thermal stabilities, enthalpies of hydrogenation, gas flow measurements, and more.
This free webinar provides an overview of micro-reaction calorimetry for experienced users as well as those new to calorimetry. Attendees will learn how these small-volume calorimeters can more quickly, safely, and efficiently accomplish the tasks of large-volume models. The presentation will also describe the technology’s ability to measure the enthalpy change that occurs during catalytic hydrogenation, as well as its gas-flow measurement capabilities.
Attendees will learn:
· What applications micro-reaction calorimeters are suitable for
· How micro-reaction calorimetry can accomplish the tasks of large-volume calorimeters
· How hydrogenation and gas-flow options further extend the capabilities of micro-reaction calorimetry

Study of exothermic runaway reactions at safe laboratory scale using Accelerating Rate Calorimetry
10:00am GMT UK | 11am CET Europe | 3:30pm IST India
The Accelerating Rate Calorimeter (ARC) has been the benchmark adiabatic safety calorimeter for more than 30 years. Devised by Dow Chemical Company in the 1970's, an explosion at a Dow UK site led to commercialisation of ARC technology. Today this technology is still the number one choice for quantifying exothermic reactions, effect of heat upon materials and simulating runaway reactions.
The presentation will cover
- Process safety considerations
- The purpose of the ARC test
- Theoretical background: Heat-Wait-Seek methodology and the Phi (f) factor
- Data Analysis: TMR (Time to Maximum Rate), ADT24 (Adiabatic Decomposition Temperature), TNR (Temperature of No Return), SADT (Self Accelerating Decomposition Temperature).
- Test design considerations
- ARC operation and options
