Reactor & Pressure Vessel Sealing Solutions
Chemical reactors and pressure vessels combine aggressive chemical reactions, extreme temperature swings, and cycling pressure/vacuum conditions. Sealing systems must maintain absolute containment of hazardous media throughout complex batch cycles.
Key Engineering Considerations for Reactor Sealing
Reactor and pressure vessel service demands rigorous evaluation of chemical resistance and thermal stability:
Aggressive Chemical Media
Strong acids, caustic solutions, and reactive solvents necessitate high-grade metal alloys (Hastelloy, Alloy-20) and inert elastomers (FFKM, PTFE).
Thermal & Pressure Cycling
Exothermic batch reactions induce rapid thermal expansion and pressure fluctuations that can compromise standard elastomer and face sealing.
Emissions Control
Strict environmental and safety standards require zero fugitive emissions for volatile organic compounds and toxic process streams.
