A reactor is a vessel that is used to house chemicals during chemical reactions. It helps scientists monitor the process in a small environment, from which they can decide whether to deploy it on a larger scale.

Chemical Reactors

Chemical reactors are designed to contain controlled chemical reactions. They are available from scientific specialty companies and come in a wide variety of designs and sizes. These industrial reactors for sale typically feature agitation technology and multiple connections for liquids, gases and vapors. They also have a jacket for protection against corrosion and are heated or cooled to maintain the desired reaction temperature.

These machines can help enhance safety and efficiency in industrial processes by reducing the amount of energy and raw materials needed for production. They also can improve the quality of products by providing better control over reaction variables.

Surplusrecord buys and sells reconditioned, unused and used process reactor vessels for use in commercial production applications such as mixing of product, solids dissolution, batch distillation, crystallization, chemical reactions and polymerization. We carry a large selection of carbon steel, alloy and glass lined reactors for sale that meet your specific requirements. Contact us today for more information or to purchase a used industrial reactor.

UV Reactors

UV water treatment systems use UV-C light to disinfect* viruses, bacteria, protozoa and other contaminants in water. As water passes through the system, the organisms are exposed to UV energy that alters their DNA, causing them to stop replicating or becoming inactive. Typical UV systems use mercury vapour lamps to create the UV energy.

Chemical glass reactors for sale can be found at various prices depending on the size and features that it has. It is essential to choose a high quality product that can handle the chemicals used in the process. The reactor must also be air-tight and resistant to corrosion. It should also have several micro-units so that there is no accumulation of pressure or energy. Large wastewater facilities that produce filtered effluent often prefer closed-vessel UV systems instead of chlorine gas. This solution is energy-efficient and provides effective disinfection performance.

Industrial Reactors

Reactors are large, complex pieces of equipment that require trained crews and a full set of tools to maintain properly. That’s why it often makes sense to buy a used industrial reactor instead of building one from the ground up. Not only is it more cost-efficient, but a reconditioned chemical reactors vessel can be shipped out much faster than waiting for a brand new reactor to be built.

The right industrial reactor must be selected based on not only technical criteria (thermodynamics, reaction kinetics, phases involved, heat and mass transfer), but also economic factors. This means choosing a reactor with a high conversion rate and selectivity that will maximize the value of the product being produced. Used reactors offer this capability and more, and can be found from a variety of inventories that allow for flexible payment terms and much faster delivery times. These benefits make buying a used reactor a win-win scenario for both buyers and sellers alike.
