Heat Transfer Is Where Reactors Win or Lose

I've seen too many reactors that run fine on paper but struggle in practice because the heat transfer area was undersized. A jacket that looks adequate in a sketch might not remove heat fast enough during an exothermic runaway, or might not distribute heating evenly across the vessel wall, creating hot spots that degrade your product.

We don't guess at heat transfer area. We calculate it — based on your reaction kinetics, your media properties, your utility temperatures, and your cycle time targets. Then we design the jacket or coil layout to deliver what the calculation requires.

• ✓ Computational thermal analysis for optimal design
• ✓ Semi-coil jacket for 20–40% higher heat transfer coefficient vs. flat jacket
• ✓ Internal coils: custom layout for maximum coverage and flow distribution
• ✓ External heat exchanger loop options for high-duty applications
• ✓ Full NDT and pressure testing on all heat exchange surfaces
