Reactors AE Two Part Construction

S2 are part of the Standard Group of Companies and manufacture a range of Stainess Steel and Exotic Alloy Reactors designs in a variety of materials such as 304 S/S, 316 S/S, and Hastelloy C276. We also offer high chemical resistant hybrid Reactors, whereby the base material has its wetted parts coated for improved chemical protection. Examples of these variants include enamel lined stainless steel reactors and StanCoat (see below).

Our 'AE' range of Reactors has a two-part construction, manufactured to exacting standards and international specifications.

Dimensionally designed to DIN 28136 our modular product range permits a number of optional variations to be added to the standard configuration, including an in-line motor or gearbox driven shaft, to suit your mixing requirements. Please see our design and test data below.

Stainless Steel AE-Reactors

Our Stainless Steel AE Reactors are manufactured and finished to the highest standards.

S2 designs are available to suit standard international specifications such as DIN conforming, where required, to the European Pressure Directive (PED), CE marking and ATEX.

However, S2 is also specifically strong at manufacturing bespoke stainless steel and exotic alloy Reactors to suit customer specifications and/or application requirements. This may include bespoke vessel heating jackets, for example, as shown.

Reactor Design Features

Reactor Options

The following design options can be supplied as standard on the S2 Stainless Steel and Exotic Alloy Receiver range.

Staircase and operator platform/gantry (for larger vessels)
Jacketed for heating/cooling of the reactor contents whilst in storage.
Limpet coil available for heating/cooling
Top Cover insulated
Automated discharge valve
Top Cover with heating/cooling jacket
Barrier Isolator for safe loading and discharge of Reactor contents.
Full instrumentation control pack for control room management
Thermal Control Units - for supplying heating/cooling fluid to the Receiver jacket where no plant means is available. This type of self-contained system is typically employed in remote storage units/sheds/warehouses.
Bespoke / custom made agitator designs, paddles and propellers are also periodically manufactured by S2 for specific application duties.
Weld finish- Internal welds with a surface finish of 0.4 Ra (descaled, acid cleaned, ground back / crevice free and polished)

StanCoat Reactor Solutions

S2 offer a range of high chemical resistant reactor solutions which also includes chemical resistant vessel charging systems. An example of our StanCoat high chemical resistant coating is shown on the S2 Reactor Charging Isolator (Glove Box) and supporting system, in the images to the right. The experienced S2 Group of Companies has supplied many chemical resistant vessel solutions with special coatings which are also conducive for food grade applications.

An example of which is for Hydrogen bromide (HBR) charging. HBR is highly explosive and corrosive liquid received in the drum. The drum is taken into the glove box (50Kg) and opened inside whereby a vacuum is applied inside the Reactor to suck the product from the drum directly. There is connection for nitrogen purging while operating.
