Glass-lined reactor systems
Instrument, connect and protect the glass-lined reactor.
Glass-lined reactors support acidic reactions, distillation, crystallisation and extraction where metallic vessels can corrode. Reliable operation also depends on the instruments, sealing components, transfer connections and lined accessories fitted around the reactor.
UD Technologies supplies measurement and control systems for temperature, agitator speed, vacuum and thermal utilities, together with accessories that can suit glass-lined equipment from different manufacturers. Dimensions, materials and area classification are selected against the reactor nozzle schedule and process duty.
RPM control
VFD arrangements for agitators and pumps.
Vacuum regulation
Controlled pressure for efficient condensation.
Lined accessories
PTFE, FEP and PFA protection for corrosive service.
Salient features
A coordinated range from instrumentation to process connections.
The final equipment arrangement, materials and controls are selected around the process duty and site conditions.
Temperature instrumentation
PT100 sensors and indicators can suit thermowell, GMP and output requirements.
Agitator speed control
VFD and local flameproof panels provide practical RPM adjustment.
Vacuum controllers
Set process pressure around solvent boiling point and available coolant.
Thermal-utility panels
Control steam or thermic-fluid flow from measured reactor temperature.
Protected reactor nozzles
Virgin-PTFE bushes and lined dip pipes resist corrosion and erosion.
Safe transfer and observation
Lined hoses, valves and sight glasses handle and display corrosive media.
System configuration
