Reactor 13 [R 13] Modular Micro Reaction System FAMOS (Fraunhofer-Allianz Modulares Mikroreaktionssystem) 

Some of these modules were fabricated in solid ceramic materials allowing chemical reactions with highly corrosive reactants or products or even at very high temperatures. Also special ceramic foams were developed which can be used as a catalyst carrier. 

Some major requirements for the FAMOS toolkit were identified  

The toolkit does not artificially fragment unit operations such as mixing and heat exchange across different modules, but integrates them into individual function-oriented micro reaction modules. A controlled thermal environment and continuous monitoring of the micro reaction process with sensors and analyzers are other crucial elements of the concept. 

The toolkit itself allows one to perform chemical reactions and processes which require widely different conditions or processing operations in the micro reaction environment. A variety of available materials and application-customized modules are important.
