Who we are AP-Miniplant provides • turn-key solutions for the chemical industry,research institutes and universities
• compact and customized design• improved cost efficiency
The founder and director of AP-Mini-plant, Dr.-Ing. Paul Appelhaus, stu-died mechanical and chemical engi-neering at the RWTH Aachen and gothis PhD in control engineering inDortmund.
He started his career as a project en-gineer at Schering AG in Berlin 1988.
Being with enthusiasm for more than20 years in the business of smallscale chemical plants, he is alwayspersonally involved to achieve thebest result for each new project.
AP-Miniplant stands for experiencewith more than 80 small scale plants,each of them a unique setup, sup-plied all over the world in the last 14years.
A strong in-house knowledge of themost important branches such aschemical, mechanical, electrical andcontrol engineering is considered tobe essential for our field of business.
This knowledge, combined with askilled workforce, is the backgroundto approach even challenging tasksand to react with the maximum flexi-bility on our customers’ demands.
With this experience, the committedworkforce of AP-Miniplant would en-joy to take over the responsibility forthe success of your project.

Providing an Excellent Value for Money
Customer Specific Consultingand Thorough Planning at allStages of the Project
Providing the best possible so lutions,based on a continuously growing da-tabase, including more than 400suppliers and approx. 20,000 diffe-rent com ponents with technical spe-cifi cation
Utilization of existing solutions, ma-ximizing customer’s cost effi ciency
Consideration of on-site condi tionshelps minimizing problems duringinstallation
We have expertise in a broad rangeof applications, based on an installedbase of more than 80 plants with se-veral ten thou sands of components
Detailed Quotation
Our detailed quotation is based onour checklists ensuring the coverageof all aspects which could be criticalfor the success of your plant and adetailed P & I-dia gram. We providea component break-down in thequotation that allows a well-foundeddecision under consideration of thecost aspects.
Our quote includes a complete skidmounted and factory tested turn-keyunit.
Small Company, Big Benefits
Short reaction time, quick decisionmaking processes and low adminis-tration costs characterize our custo-mer relationships.
Using Standard Components
Fittings, sensors, valves, pumps andelectrical equipment are purchasedas standard components which en-sure a worldwide supply with a re-producible high level of quality andreliability. Standard components aremore cost efficient, thereby elimina-ting the need for expensive made topurpose parts and components whe-rever possible.
Our suppliers include:ABB, Endress + Hauser, Krohne,Phoenix Contact, Rittal, Samson,Siemens, Swagelok.
The usage of industrial equipmentimproves the long term reliability andminimizes maintenance costs. Mostcomponents provide splash waterproof electrical installations (IP54).

Automatic Recipe ControlOur recipe control system is based on MS-Excel™. Especially designed forre search plants, it allows repro ducible process conditions.
Recipe Features:
• Unattended step by step operation• Individually adapted to the plant• Maximum flexibility in recipe defi-nition
• User intervention during run pos-sible
• Data record for each run
Example for a recipe controlled pressure program
Recipe definition screen, each tab is one step. Step change conditions: Time, temperature, pressure, inertisationready, manual step change or other conditions
