Used Batch Reactor Vessels

Because most industrial processes are centered in some type of batch reactor, there is a wide variety to choose from in the market. IPP's selection is no different with over 1,000 different reactor vessels in stock covering all common reactor materials of construction, a wide range of pressure reactor ratings and supported temperature ranges, both horizontal and vertical reactor orientations, an array of agitated reactor styles as well as specific process reactor types like slurry, oscillatory baffled, laboratory, bench scale, catalyst and Buss loop reactors among others.

Over 60 Different Chemical Reactor Manufacturers In Stock

Our broad array of batch and continuous reactors were produced by over 60 different companies, ranging from leading chemical reactor manufacturers like Pfaudler, De Dietrich, Brighton and Paul Mueller to custom fabrication companies like Roben Manufacturing Inc.

Guide to Sorting IPP's Reactor Types

Narrow your search by choosing one of the product sub-groups first. We sort by the 2 primary characteristics that distinguish different types of reactors:

1. Is the reactor vessel lined, either with glass or a metal like lead or nickel?
2. Material of construction - various forms of steel and alloy steels are used because of the diversity in common reactants' corrosive nature and chemical properties.

Large Selection of Reglassed and Glass Lined Reactors

Find your glass-lined reactor in one of the industry's largest selections of new/unused, good quality used and reconditioned glass reactors by well-known glass lined reactor manufacturers like Pfaudler and De Dietrich. IPP has the exclusive ability to redo the glass in chemical reactors through its affiliate partnership with Pfaudler known as Universal Glasteel Equipment (UGE).

Variety In Reactors' Construction

Choose from reactors made from carbon steel (CS), various grades of stainless steel (SS) such as 304, 316, 316L or from reactors and vessels made from high performance cobalt and nickel alloys like HASTELLOY® C-276, Special Metals' Monel 400 & K-500, Inconel 600 & 625, Incoloy 904 as well as from Titanium and Zirconium alloys.

Most chemical reactors are jacketed reactors where a heat transfer fluid flowing in the space between the jacket and the reactor vessel outer wall is used instead of a heating coil. The common types of jackets are:

• Conventional / Simple - outer cylinder encloses the reactor
• Dimple Jacket - hemispherical dimples pressed into the jacket plate that wraps the reactor, good for low temperature heat transfer and pressures < 300 psi
• Partial / Half Pipe Coil Jacket - pipe is cut in half the long way then wrapped around reactor in helix, most versatile design used for both high and low temperature heat transfer and high pressure applications
