Reactors for Corrosive Chemicals, Aggressive Process Media, and Harsh Reaction Environments
Why Corrosive Chemical Service Requires Specialized Batch Reactors
Corrosion accelerates in the presence of temperature, pressure, catalysts, and reactive species. Equipment degradation threatens safety, product purity, and regulatory compliance. Material selection must consider chemical compatibility, pitting and crevice corrosion resistance, and long-term mechanical performance under process conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What materials are available for corrosive chemical reactors?
A: We offer carbon steel, 304 and 316 stainless steel, duplex stainless steels, Hastelloy, Inconel, titanium, and other alloys selected for corrosion and media compatibility.
Q: What sizes do you manufacture?
A: We manufacture reactors from pilot scale (50 gallons) through production scale (15,000+ gallons). Custom sizes are engineered to application requirements.
Q: What pressure and temperature ratings are available?
A: Standard designs support full vacuum to 5,000 psig and temperatures from cryogenic to 1,000°F. Higher ratings are available for special corrosive environments.
Q: Do you provide engineering support for reactor specification?
A: Yes. Our engineering team works with chemical producers to specify optimal reactor design including materials, heat transfer, mixing, and corrosion mitigation strategies.
Q: What is typical lead time for batch reactor manufacturing?
A: Lead times typically range from 16–24 weeks depending on size, materials, and complexity. Expedited schedules can be accommodated for urgent requirements.
