Custom Reactors

Whether it is processing one ingredient or multiple ingredients into the final product, your chemical reactions depend heavily on the right heat transfer and agitation. You don't want to compromise your quality on even one batch. With more than 75 years of pressure vessel experience under our belts, we can help you design your reactor to make sure your process is at its highest level of performance.

Heat Transfer for Consistency

Whether it's Exothermic or Endothermic, you don't want the heat to runaway from you during processing. Be it dimple, half-pipe or our patented Temp-Plate inflated heat transfer, we can help you get the temperature up fast, hold it if necessary, and then cool it down quickly. This ensures consistent and better cycle times. 

Agitation for Efficiency

Agitation can make the difference between a reaction working or not working. It also affects high and low yields by making sure the temperatures are spread evenly and your ingredients mixed thoroughly as your product is processing. We work with you and your specific process to help eliminate the hot and cold spots and reach the appropriate mixing levels required for an efficient reaction. 

As an ASME approved vendor, we know how to support you to meet the regulations and quality standards you need. Consult with our Chemical equipment experts about the right weld design and processes, heat transfer, connections, mixers and manways that will bring your project to a successful and profitable completion.
