Overview
Controlling temperature within a jacketed reactor in chemical manufacturing is crucial for safe and efficient processing. Jacketed reactors are widely used to regulate reactions, control viscosity, and enhance product quality across various applications, from pharmaceuticals to specialty chemicals.
Direct Steam Injection heaters provide a highly effective solution for heating jacketed reactors, offering on-demand, precise, and energy-efficient heating with key advantages over conventional systems:
- Ensures immediate, precise temperature control in jacketed reactors, optimizing reaction conditions for improved yield, product consistency, and quality
- Increases energy efficiency with nearly 100% thermal transfer, minimizing heat loss, lowering operational costs, and supporting sustainability through reduced water and energy use with efficient recirculation
- Reduces fouling and maintenance demands, with fewer intermediary surfaces to decrease scaling and extend cleaning intervals, reducing downtime
- Provides flexibility for reactors of varying sizes and capacities, offering scalable solutions for both small-batch and high-volume chemical production
- Enhances safety with on-demand temperature adjustments, reducing the risk of thermal runaway in hazardous reactions and protecting both equipment and personnel
- Features a compact design for easy integration into reactor systems, optimizing floor space and enabling an efficient plant layout
Hydroheater®
Also known as the Jetcooker™, our Hydroheater® has the longest proven history of heating and processing a complex range of liquids and materials. Known for its adjustability, durability, and power, the near century of engineering and innovation behind the design of this workhorse speaks for itself.
- Volume capability: 1 up to 6,700 gpm [0.2 up to 1,522 m³/hr]
NOH™ (Non-Obstructing Heater)
The Non-Obstructing Heater is rugged enough to handle even the toughest abrasive materials, like sand and grit, to fibrous materials and large particulates.
- Its non-obstructive design protects against plugging, fouling, and pressure drop with its powerful, unrestricted flow.
