5M3 Sulfuric Acid Resin Reactor with Agitator | Stirred Tank Batch Reactor

This 5M3 batch reactor is built for processes that demand reliable mixing and dependable corrosion resistance. We manufacture it as a stirred tank with an agitator, designed to handle sulfuric acid and other aggressive chemicals in resin production, chemical synthesis, and similar batch operations. If you\’re evaluating reactors for acid service, this unit offers a practical balance of capacity, configuration flexibility, and fabrication quality.

The vessel is constructed from stainless steel, with the specific grade selected based on the acid concentration and operating temperature of your process. For dilute sulfuric acid, we typically recommend 304L or 316L; for more severe conditions, we can supply higher-alloy materials like 904L or duplex stainless steel. All welds are fully penetrated and smooth, and the interior surface is polished to reduce buildup and make cleaning easier. The exterior is brushed or painted, depending on your plant\’s requirements.

Heating and cooling are handled through a jacket around the vessel. You can choose from electric heating, steam, thermal oil, or cooling water, depending on your utility setup and process control needs. The reactor is designed for a specified working pressure and temperature, and we\’ll confirm these ratings based on your process parameters before fabrication.

The agitator system is customized for your mixing requirements. Options include anchor, paddle, turbine, or combination impellers, with variable-speed drives available for processes that need precise control. The shaft seal can be a mechanical seal or a stuffing box, chosen to match your pressure and leakage requirements.

We also offer a range of optional features: manholes for access, sight glasses, pressure and temperature sensors, sampling ports, and control interfaces. These can be integrated during manufacturing, so you don\’t have to retrofit later.

Typical Applications

This reactor is well-suited for resin and polymer production, acid digestion, neutralization, and other liquid-liquid or liquid-solid reactions in the chemical, pharmaceutical, and agrochemical industries. It\’s also used in water treatment and specialty chemical plants where batch flexibility is important.

FAQ

Q: Can this reactor handle concentrated sulfuric acid?
Concentrated sulfuric acid requires special materials. We\’ll recommend the appropriate alloy based on concentration and temperature. For high concentrations, glass-lined or high-nickel alloys may be necessary.

Q: What is the maximum working pressure?
It depends on the vessel design and material. We can build for pressures up to 10 bar or more, but you need to specify your process conditions.

Q: How do I choose the right agitator?
It depends on your mixing goals—whether you need gentle blending, high shear, or solid suspension. We\’ll help you select the impeller type and speed to match your process.

Q: Is cleaning easy?
Yes, the polished interior and optional spray ball make cleaning straightforward. For CIP, we can add nozzles.

Q: Can I customize the reactor?
Absolutely. You can specify nozzles, instruments, and control systems. We\’ll design and fabricate to your requirements.

Buying Guide

Before requesting a quote, prepare the following details: the chemical composition and concentration of your process fluid, batch size and working volume, operating and design temperatures, pressure requirements, viscosity and solids content, heating/cooling needs, and desired mixing intensity. Also note any cleaning, seal, or compliance standards. With this information, our engineers can recommend the right material, agitator, and jacket configuration.
