At hte, we design, build, and implement state-of-the-art lab-scale test systems that help research and development teams achieve better results faster. Our laboratory systems are tailor-made turnkey solutions with integrated analytics and a software package for unit control and data evaluation. As lab-in-lab systems, they meet the highest safety standards and can be efficiently integrated into existing laboratory infrastructures. Customers worldwide rely on our expertise and 25 years of experience in lab system construction.
hte builds modular and flexible lab systems for the research and development activities of customers in the refinery, chemical, petrochemical, and battery industries, as well as the electrolysis and fuel cell sectors. We not only offer standardized products, but also customized solutions to meet your requirements – even for challenging process conditions such as high temperatures or demanding feeds and products, such as corrosive media. And if you are planning new research tasks, for example in the context of decarbonization, our lab systems are both extendible and flexible thanks to their modular design.
hte offers a broad portfolio of systems for your labs. Our laboratory-scale systems are designed for:
We design and build our laboratory reactor systems individually according to customer requirements. Learn more about the individual system types available from hte here:
Our high-throughput systems are designed for parallel screening, testing, and optimization of catalysts for various reaction types. They increase productivity when evaluating heterogeneous catalysts and also provide high-quality data.
Customized bench-scale systems from hte are robust, modular, and easily expandable. They offer our customers valuable support, for example when scaling up, during process development and optimization, as well as when performing extended catalyst testing.
Test catalysts and feeds for fluid catalytic cracking (FCC) under relevant process conditions on a laboratory scale with hte’s micro downflow technology.
Our batch reactor systems are parallelized, highly automated, lab-scale systems. They are suitable for testing various chemical processes, for polymerization, or for the precipitation of materials such as battery materials.
Our systems facilitate parallel screening of up to 16 electrochemical cells. They are equipped with specific electrochemical analytics, as well as automatic electrolyte mixing and metering.
When developing new materials, each synthesis step depends on various parameters, resulting in numerous combinations up to the final preparation step. At hte, we offer customized solutions for your challenges in the field of battery material synthesis.
The world’s leading companies rely on our comprehensive, lab-scale R&D workflows. Learn more about the innovative solutions in our client stories.
hte offers research institutes and company research departments a functional, full-scope solution that is validated with their own chemicals and ready for immediate use. State-of-the-art technology, integrated analytics, and data management are all interlinked. We provide reliable, high-precision data and facilitate fast evaluations.
Project workflow
All steps – from acceptance of the order, through system construction and commissioning, all the way up to delivery – are carried out at hte’s site in Heidelberg.
At hte, we are constantly developing and refining our portfolio. Our experts in laboratory system engineering also draw on the scientific expertise and real-world experience of our in-house specialists. This is because hte not only builds laboratory reactors, but also offers services for catalyst and material testing, as well as process development. Shared experience creates synergy effects – and this “everything under one roof” approach is one of the key benefits of working with hte.
hte not only offers flexible lab facilities, time-saving catalyst and materials research, and the development of efficient processes – it also supports R&D teams at various stages of their research journey. Our specialists, for example, help with their expert knowledge in formulating and adjusting research and development strategies, assessing technologies, and evaluating studies.
