Test Benches & Experimental Pilot Units
As a designer of complex custom-built systems, IRIAN MECATRONICS showcases on this page an overview of our expertise in engineering and manufacturing laboratory-scale test benches and pilot units. Each project is a fully integrated solution, designed to master processes or simulate specific environments on a reduced scale, enabling our clients to collect reliable data to validate a technology or optimize their processes.
Geoscience & Subsurface Studies
State-of-the-art systems for reservoir engineering: geomechanics, fluid-rock interaction, PVT analysis, and downhole condition simulation.
HPHT Test Bench for Carbonation Studies in Corrosive Media
For a major energy group, we designed an HPHT test bench (140 bar, 130°C) for carbonation studies. The Hastelloy C-276 solution resists corrosive fluids (salt water, CO2).
High-Precision Osmosis Test Bench for Argillite Studies
For the BRGM, we designed an osmosis test bench. It measures tiny liquid flows (20 µL/day) through argillite samples under 50 bar confinement.
Process Development & Chemical Pilot Plants
Custom lab and semi-industrial pilots for scale-up, reaction kinetics, and optimizing your surface chemical processes.
Pressurized Flow Reactor Systems for CO2 Capture (CCUS) Research
Reactor platform (Tubular & CSTR) for CO2 capture research (200 bar, 300°C).
High-Pressure Continuous Flow Reactors for Gas-Liquid Process Research
R&D platform with high-pressure tubular (PFR) and stirred (CSTR) reactors for gas-liquid process studies and catalyst screening.
Extreme Environment Simulation Systems
Test your materials and components in the most extreme conditions: abyssal pressure, microgravity, high-pressure cryogenics, or reactive atmospheres.
High-Pressure Autoclaves for Flammable Gas (ATEX) Testing
high-pressure autoclave benches for flammable gases (H2). Features full ATEX safety integration and ergonomic handling.
1000 bar High-Pressure Test Bench with Dual Titanium Cells for Deep-Sea Environment Simulation
For the CEREGE (CNRS) laboratory, we designed a Titanium test bench to simulate extreme deep-sea conditions (1000 bar, 2°C) for studying microorganisms.
Fluid Dynamics & Phase Behavior
High-precision systems for the study of flow assurance, hydrodynamics, and the phase behavior of complex fluids (supercritical, hydrates…).
Supercritical CO2 Demonstration Cell
For TotalEnergies, we designed a portable and secure demonstrator to visualize the phase transition of supercritical CO2 during a conference.
HPHT Pilot Unit for Simulating Turbulent Flow with DRA Agents
For an energy major, this HPHT pilot (50 bar) simulates turbulent flow. It measures the effectiveness of Drag Reducing Agents (DRA) without shearing them, using a custom low-shear pump.
