A reactor is a vessel that is used in the process of synthesizing a new chemical from two or more components. We offer a variety of vacuum technologies for reactor vacuum including liquid ring vacuum pumps, dry vacuum pumps, steam ejectors, and hybrid vacuum systems that combine these technologies for improved efficiency and performance.

Vacuum Pump Applications for Chemical Reactors

Reactor vacuums are used in manufacturing bulk pharmaceuticals, removing glycol from polyester, producing ammonia, and forming both organic and inorganic compounds.

Vacuum technologies are essential for the safe and efficient operation of chemical reactors, as they are necessary to lower the reaction temperature and conserve energy. Process control, solvent/vapor recovery, and evaporation recovery are also valuable. This is critical in preventing the release of hazardous materials and ensuring the quality and safety of the production process.

Here are some common applications of vacuum technologies in chemical reactors: 

  • Air separation: Vacuum technology is used to remove air from the reactor. This is essential for preventing the release of hazardous gasses and averting the reactor from reaching safety limits. 

  • Vapor removal: Vacuum technology is used to remove vapor from the reactor. Vapor is a by-product of the chemical reaction and can be dangerous if released into the atmosphere. 

  • Liquid removal: Vacuum technology is used to remove liquid from the reactor. Liquid can be a threat to the safety of the operators and the environment.
