Capabilities

Each capability is named, scoped and tied to a deliverable.

Reactor Selection & Material of Construction

Direct

MSGL for acid-resistant duties, SS 304/316/316L for less corrosive duties, Hastelloy C-22/C-276/B-2 for aggressive halide and acid service, and exotic alloys for specialist applications.

Deliverable received

OutputReactor material-of-construction selection matched to the specific chemistry and service.

Reactor Configuration & Geometry

Direct

Jacketed vs. limpet coil vs. internal coil, top-entry vs. bottom-entry agitation, L/D ratio decisions, and nozzle layout for charging, sampling, vent and instrumentation.

Deliverable received

OutputReactor configuration and geometry specification with nozzle layout.

Agitator Design & Selection

Direct

Turbine, anchor, propeller, paddle, gate and helical agitators selected for the specific duty, with power calculation and shaft sealing selection.

Deliverable received

OutputAgitator selection with power calculation, seal selection and vendor matrix.

Heat Transfer System Design

Direct

Jacket, limpet and internal coil heat transfer surface sizing, heating medium selection (steam, hot oil, electrical) and cooling medium selection (chilled water, brine, glycol).

Deliverable received

OutputHeat transfer surface sizing with heating and cooling medium selection.

Reaction Safety & Pressure Relief

Direct

Two-phase relief calculations using DIERS methodology, rupture disc and PSV selection, and catch tank and vent header design.

Deliverable received

OutputRelief sizing calculations with rupture disc, PSV, catch tank and vent header design.

Pilot Reactor Selection

Direct
