Technology

A technology and engineering platform for industrial performance

KHIMOD combines advanced reactor design and process engineering to develop high-performance chemical processes — from CO₂ conversion to advanced flow chemistry applications.

Process design & integration

From reaction to industrial process

Beyond reactor technology, KHIMOD develops complete process design for industrial units — ensuring optimal performance at system level.

Unit process design tailored to each application

Integration of key performance equipment, including reactors, catalysts and reaction systems

Optimization of operating conditions (pressure, temperature, flows)

Design of efficient and scalable process architectures

This system-level approach ensures that reactor performance translates into real industrial efficiency.

Reactor technology

A unique approach to chemical reactions

KHIMOD’s technology is based on proprietary Heat Exchanger-Reactors (HER), manufactured using diffusion bonding — a breakthrough assembly technology developed over more than 20 years.

This design enables the integration of heat exchange and reaction within the same compact unit, allowing precise control of temperature, pressure and reaction kinetics.

HER technology is a key component of KHIMOD’s broader process design approach, enabling high-performance reactions within fully integrated systems.

Used across both energy and chemical applications, HER technology is particularly suited to highly exothermic and demanding reactions.

Technical advantages & performance

Unlocking new levels of performance

Compared to conventional reactor technologies, KHIMOD’s HER enables :

Efficient control of highly exothermic reactions

Operation under high pressure and temperature

Reduced reactor size and catalyst volume

Improved conversion rates and selectivity thanks to a narrow residence time distribution

Modularity making small to large scale projects economically viable

These advantages are amplified when integrated into fully optimized process designs.

HER Platform

A modular and scalable reactor platform

KHIMOD develops a range of HER systems designed to be integrated within complete process architectures — from pilot to industrial scale.

This modular approach enables progressive scale-up from demonstration to commercial deployment. It also makes small and medium scale projects economically viable, while being also adapted to large-scale deployment.
