Watch a short video about HEL's HP ChemSCAN

This short video (just over 2 minutes) describing hydrogenation and catalyst screening with HEL's HP ChemSCAN is intended to give a very quick overview of this innovative, robust product. Further details available on HEL's website.

Thermal Stability of Batteries

By Dr Jasbir Singh

HEL were invited to make a presentation on safety testing of batteries, using adiabatic calorimetry, at the meeting of the Thermal Methods Group (TMG) of the RSC, to be held 30/31 March in Harwell, England. 

The Abstract of the talk I plan to give entitled "Thermal Stability of Batteries"  is available via this link;  it is  focused on Phi-TEC Battery Testing Calorimeter (BTC), developed especially for small and large batteries alike, based on the principles of the “ARC” calorimeter produced by Dow Chemical, back in the 1980s. The Phi-TEC is already established as the bench mark replacement for the “ARC” and is used worldwide for chemical safety testing.   

Introducing HEL Ltd, Beijing Office !

Process Chemistry Instruments from HEL are now available to Chinese customers directly from HEL's new Beijing office.

Chemistry Christmas Tree

Have a look at this video from the University of Nottingham - a christmas tree with a difference !

Season's Greetings from all of us at HEL....

Battery testing - or is it a washing machine ?

Alex Haro, our Spanish student, is leaving us, and the last job we asked him to do is to model beside our newly designed Battery Testing Calorimeter. Next time, we will photograph this as a soup cooker - or perhaps a washing machine. Read more about what this robust battery safety testing instrument can do here

HEL Inc is growing

Another recruit to our US office is the new Account Manager for the MidAtlantic region - Dan Sacunas.

Dan brings with him over 8 years experience in the technology industry, most recently working as a Regional Account Manager in the U.S. for NXP Semiconductors. Here he was responsible for all sales, marketing, major OEM, and distribution strategies within in the Mid-Atlantic region. Prior to joining NXP, Dan worked for Philips in Global Business Partnerships, Operations, and Process Engineering functions.

With an MBA from New York University as well as a B.S. in Chemical Engineering from Penn State University, Dan is off to flying start with HEL !

He currently lives in the suburbs of Philadelphia with his wife Natalie, and today (Thursday May 21st ) you might bump into him at the Catalysis Club of Philadephia (CCP) Spring '09 Symposium !

HEL to exhibit at 21st NAM

Come and meet our new US Regional Manager, Barry Giordano, at the 21st North American Catalysis Conference, 7-12 June, San Francisco.

Barry is looking forward to meeting you there; a bit of background about him might help. He has a BS in Organic Chemistry (with a focus on Analytical Chemistry), and has joined us with over 20 years of business development, sales management and technical support, serving the life science sector. If you are on LinkedIn, then more information on his extensive experience is available on his LinkedIn Profile.

Our updated High Pressure ChemSCAN will be of particular interest to visitors to NAM; it is a dedicated parallel reaction system for the rapid screening of high pressure reactions and heterogeneous catalysis systems. The system has been updated recently, with improved features and benefits, using our parallel synthesis platform PolyBLOCK gives it further flexibility and modularity. More information is available on our website, or read this article.
