Precision Pumps & Injection Systems for Research and Industry
IRIAN MECATRONICS designs and manufactures high-pressure pumps and injection systems for controlling fluids under high pressure. Our systems are engineered to meet the requirements of the most demanding research and industrial applications.
We offer a range of standard equipment, which can serve as a basis for specific adaptations, as well as fully custom designs to meet your exact specifications.
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.
