Corrosion Resistant Glass-Lined Batch Reactors

Glass-lined batch reactors provide exceptional corrosion protection through a fused glass coating that creates an impervious barrier between process materials and the steel vessel. Roben Manufacturing supplies glass-lined reactors for applications requiring both aggressive chemical resistance and superior cleanability.

Why Choose Glass-Lined Corrosion Resistant Batch Reactors

Glass lining offers unique advantages for corrosive chemical processing. The smooth, non-porous glass surface resists virtually all acids except hydrofluoric, provides excellent cleanability, and prevents product contamination. Glass-lined reactors are ideal for pharmaceutical and fine chemical production where product purity is paramount and batch-to-batch cleaning must be thorough and verifiable.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: 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.

Q: 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.

Q: 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.

Q: 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.

Q: 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.
