Construction of a chlorination reactor in a manufacturing plant for tricloroisocianárico acid and sodium hypochlorite. Characteristics Two units were manufactured in the same year. The equipment has a main bore of Ø800mm, and a total height of 16,000mm. Operating Conditions The reactors wer designed to operate at a maximum pressure of 2.5bar, and a maximum […]
Reactor for precipitating gypsum from sulphuric acid
Application Construction of a reactor for precipitating gypsum from dilute sulphuric acid. In addition to the demanding conditions of reactor design, speed of design and manufacture was critical to the success of the project, because the equipment had to replace the original (supplied by others) that had failed catastrophically. Characteristics The reactor was Ø4000 in […]
Phosphoric acid storage system
Application Construction of a storage system for crude phosphoric acid with a capacity of 500 tonnes. The construction of the tank was complicated by its location, which was enclosed in pipe rack structures. Characteristics The storage tank is constructed of FRP, and has a capacity of 500m3 (diameter 7600mm). It was built in situ using […]
Separators / Concentrators for phosphoric acid
Application Construction of three separators/concentrators for phosphoric acid. This was an especially critical application, due to the constraints of heat generation during operation. Characteristics The separators are arranged vertically, with a Klöpper type lid and conical bottom of 45º. The principal diameter was fixed at Ø2500, giving a total capacity of 30m3. They also have […]
Effluent tank and sodium hypoclorite decomposer
Application Construction of an effluent tank (for organic solvents) and a decomposer for sodium hypochlorite. This was an especially critical application due to the corrossiveness of the medium.
