Corrosion Resistant Batch Reactors for Biotechnology
Biotechnology processes require reactors that resist corrosion from aggressive cleaning agents and process chemicals while maintaining the sterility biological systems demand. Roben Manufacturing’s corrosion resistant batch reactors serve biotech applications from cell culture through downstream processing.
Why Choose Biotechnology Corrosion Resistant Batch Reactors
Biotech facilities use aggressive cleaning and sterilization protocols that can corrode lesser materials. Caustic CIP solutions, peracetic acid sanitizers, and steam sterilization cycles stress reactor materials. Corrosion resistant construction ensures long equipment life while maintaining the cleanability and sterility that biological production requires.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I select the right material for my corrosive application?
Material selection depends on the specific chemicals, temperatures, and concentrations involved. Our engineering team reviews your process conditions and recommends materials based on published corrosion data and our experience with similar applications. We can also arrange corrosion testing for unusual environments.
What is the typical service life of corrosion resistant reactors?
With proper material selection, corrosion resistant reactors typically provide 15–25+ years of service. Service life depends on the severity of the corrosive environment, operating conditions, and maintenance practices. Proper material selection is the key to long service life.
Can you provide corrosion allowance calculations?
Yes, we calculate corrosion allowance based on expected corrosion rates for your specific environment. This additional wall thickness extends service life by allowing for gradual material loss over the reactor’s operational lifetime.
What sizes do you manufacture?
We manufacture corrosion resistant batch reactors from pilot scale (50 gallons) through production scale (15,000+ gallons). Custom sizes are engineered to your specifications.
What is typical lead time for corrosion resistant batch reactors?
Lead times typically range from 16–24 weeks depending on size, materials, and complexity. Specialty alloys like Hastelloy and titanium may require longer lead times due to material procurement.
