High-Pressure Syringe Pumps: Standard & Custom Systems for Research

High-Pressure Syringe Pumps for Research and Process Control

Irian Mecatronics designs and manufactures high-pressure syringe pumps for applications requiring precise, repeatable fluid delivery under demanding conditions. Our systems are engineered as robust tools for researchers and engineers who need absolute control over flow rate, pressure, and volume in their experiments and processes.

Technical Capabilities & System Design

Our approach is centered on robust engineering and providing the right level of customization to meet specific experimental parameters and budgets.

Flexible Engineering Approach: We offer several paths to your ideal solution:
- Standard Range: A selection of pre-engineered pump models for common high-pressure applications, providing proven performance and reliability.
- Adapted Standard Models: We can modify our standard pumps with different wetted materials, seal options, volumes, or control features. This provides a cost-effective way to get a tailored system that is closely based on a standard design.
- Fully Custom Systems: For unique challenges, our engineers will design a pump system from the ground up to meet your exact process or experimental parameters.
Repeatable and Stable Flow Control: Our pumps provide highly stable, pulse-free flow, crucial for long-duration experiments where parameters must remain constant. The system can be configured for either constant flow rate or constant pressure control, delivering exceptional accuracy for metering pump and dosing applications.
High Pressure & High Temperature (HPHT) Operation: We design systems capable of operating under extreme conditions, including pressures up to 6000 bars and elevated temperatures, allowing for the replication of true environmental or process conditions.
Material Selection for Fluid Compatibility: System integrity is paramount. We select all wetted parts based on your fluid’s properties. Our expertise covers a range of materials, including various grades of Stainless Steel, Hastelloy, and Titanium, ensuring compatibility with corrosive fluids, brines, and gases like H2S or SCCO2.

Automation and Data Logging: Our automated syringe pump systems are controlled via dedicated software, allowing for the programming of complex injection sequences, cyclic loading, and the logging of all critical data (pressure, volume, flow rate) for analysis.

A Versatile Tool for Advanced Research & Process Control

Our syringe pumps are designed for critical applications where flow stability, pulse-free delivery, and volumetric accuracy are essential parameters, even under very high pressures and temperatures.

They are primarily integrated into test benches for the following fields:

Geosciences and Reservoir Engineering
Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) studies, core flooding tests, permeability measurements, and PVT (Pressure-Volume-Temperature) analysis of reservoir fluids.
Fine Chemistry and Process Development
Continuous and stable feeding of high-pressure reactors, catalyst evaluation, and polymerization studies under extreme conditions (up to 6000 bar / 200°C).
Complex Fluid Dosing
Precise injection of supercritical fluids (e.g., CO2), liquefied gases, or aggressive fluids (brines, H2S, acids) through a selection of adapted materials (e.g., Hastelloy C276, Titanium).
Instrumentation and Fundamental Research
Integration as a pressure or flow generation module in custom test benches.

More Than a Component: A Partnership in Engineering

For us, a pump is often the starting point of a larger engineering challenge. While we supply standalone pump systems, our core expertise lies in their integration into complete, custom-designed experimental apparatus.

A high-pressure pump from Irian Mecatronics is your entry point to our broader capabilities in designing and manufacturing reactors, test benches, and fully integrated high-pressure systems. We understand that your experiment is more than just a pump; it’s a complex system where every component matters.

FAQ

I need a stable flow rate and the ability to precisely measure the injected volume. Do your pumps allow this?

Yes, this is precisely the advantage of our technology. Our syringe pumps ensure a stable and continuous flow, completely free of pulsations. Furthermore, they are truly volumetric: we measure the piston displacement with high precision. This means you always know the exact volume injected or withdrawn, which is essential for quantitative studies (like core flooding) or metrology applications.
Is it possible to operate the pump to maintain a constant pressure target?

Absolutely. Our pumps excel in constant pressure mode. You define a pressure setpoint (up to 6000 bar / 90,000 psi), and the system automatically adjusts the piston’s flow rate to reach and stably maintain that target pressure. This is a critical function for simulating reservoir conditions in geosciences or for materials testing.
I need a pump for a highly corrosive fluid (e.g., hot brine). Is this possible?

Yes, this is one of our specialties. We select the wetted materials based on your specific needs (Stainless Steel, Hastelloy C276, Titanium, etc.). We adapt the pump body and seal design to ensure perfect chemical compatibility and long service life, even with corrosive fluids at high temperatures.
Can your pumps be integrated into my existing test bench?
Yes, our pumps are designed for flexible integration. You have two options:

Use our full-featured Windows-based control software, which allows you to operate the pump and log data.

Communicate directly with the pump’s PLC (controller), bypassing our software.

This second option is ideal if you already have a centralized control system (like LabVIEW, SCADA, or a master PLC). You can pilot the pump as an instrument within your own software environment. Our engineering team can assist you with this integration and adapt the connectivity if needed.
I don't see the exact volume or pressure I need. Do you make custom designs?

Yes, custom design is at the heart of what we do. If our standard platforms do not match your specifications, our engineering department will analyze your constraints (volume, pressure, temperature, footprint, materials) to design a unique high-pressure syringe pump optimized for your application.
AccordDoes the control software allow for programming complex injection cycles?ion Title

Perfectly. The provided software (if you choose to use it) allows you to program advanced test sequences. You can define pressure or flow rate ramps, holding steps, cycles (injection/withdrawal), and other complex sequences. All data (pressure, volume, flow rate) is logged in real-time for complete traceability of your tests.
What maintenance do your pumps require, and who handles it?

Our pumps are designed to be robust and reliable. The main servicing involves wear parts (e.g., piston seals), with replacement frequency depending on usage, pressure, and fluid aggressiveness. As the designer and manufacturer, we provide comprehensive maintenance and service for our equipment. We offer preventive maintenance plans and curative interventions to ensure the performance and longevity of your investment.
