Chemical Plants
Chemical Plants
Chemical vessels, also known as process vessels, are used in chemical reactions, mixing, and pressure containment.
Types of Chemical Plants
Pressure Vessels
Designed to store and process chemicals under high pressure (e.g., reactors, autoclaves).
Mixing Vessels
Used for blending chemicals with agitators or stirrers.
Reactors
Specialized vessels for chemical synthesis, such as polymerization or oxidation.
Heat Exchangers
Transfer heat between chemicals to maintain reaction temperatures.
Materials Used in Chemical Vessels
Stainless Steel (SS 304, SS 316)
Corrosion-resistant, ideal for food, pharma, and chemical industries.
Carbon Steel
Used for non-corrosive applications and high-pressure containment.
Glass-Lined Steel
Prevents corrosion and contamination in highly reactive chemicals.
Plastic (HDPE, PP, PVC, FRP)
Lightweight and corrosion-resistant, ideal for acids and alkalis.
