Reaction Systems

The mechanical design of our reactors ensures safe operation while under pressure or during vacuum in the vessel or jacket. GMM Pfaudler is certified to design and build Pfaudler glass-lined and Equilloy alloy equipment under all major global pressure vessel regulations and codes, including ASME, AD 2000, PED, TEMA, GHOST, SELO, GB150 and KGS.

The safe, effective containment of corrosive chemicals is crucial. It protects personnel safety, property and, of course, the environment. For the most highly corrosive application, the corrosion resistance of Pfaudler’s glass-lined technology is unmatched. Our glass-lined, is also ideal for high purity applications due to its low surface tension, clean-ability, and low extractables. GMM Pfaudler has the largest installed base in the industry. Fluoropolymer accessories and reactive metal condensers are included in the highest corrosion resistance packages. For alloy reaction systems application, EQUILLOY brand designs and builds equipment in array of metal alloys and reative metals in solid, lined, and clad constructions. 

Batch quality is dependent on effective mixing, as it ensures proper heat transfer and reaction. Through considerable research and development, GMM Pfaudler leads the way in the invention of the latest mixing technologies. For our Pfaudler glass-lined mixers and MIXION alloy mixers, we focus on every component when designing mixers, including the impeller, baffle, shaft seal, gearbox, and motor. Whatever the application may be, from high-viscosity , gas dispersion, or solid suspension to general liquid-liquid mixing, we have the mixer configuration to support it. Our INTERSEAL brand shaft sealing technology provides safe containmnet of the reactor contents.

Heat transfer design is another vital factor in batch quality. Proper reactor mixer design, jacket geometry, jacket utility selection and the jacket’s Temperature Control Unit (TCU) all have an important part to play in reactor heat transfer and controlling temperature for quality. Through years of research and development, GMM Pfaudler Systems is able to provide cutting-edge heat transfer and temperature control technologies.

GMM Pfaudler Systems designs and builds its reactor systems as turn-key, completely assembled process modules which include all required equipment, instrumentation, piping and controls. Our engineers integrally design all systems components to provide the most efficient operation systems while also providing higher quality, lower costs, and shorter schedules.

GMM Pfaudler Systems has all the required disciplines in engineering, in order to provide its clients with complete turn-key process modules

GMM Pfaudler Systems’ design complete modular process systems includng all the process instruments required to safely and efficiency control your process. For clients without existing central plant control systems, GMM Pfaudler Systems provides complete control systems.

Along with glass-lined steel (Glasteel®) technologies, we also offer reaction technologies in Borosilicate glass construction with Normag brand systems.
