Since 1949 the best in Italy for the design and production of plants for the chemical and pharmaceutical industry
Design and manufacturing of chemical reactors for the chemical, petrochemical, and pharmaceutical industries
The design and production of a chemical reactor is very complex and requires skills in various sectors, which Angelo Pilotta srl has developed and perfected during its long presence in the sector.
When a chemical reactor must be introduced in a plant dedicated to chemical or pharmaceutical production, the identification of the appropriate device varies according to two factors:
- how flexible the production is;
- how much product must be obtained every day (scale of the operation)
The dimensions of the reactors that we build for the fine chemical industry and for the pharmaceutical sector are generally limited since it is necessary to produce limited daily quantities and therefore operate discontinuously.
For the petrochemical industry, on the other hand, most of the time we manufacture large continuous operation reactors.
The size of the reactor to be built depends on the daily production and on how much the reaction needs to be pushed.
What happens inside a chemical reactor is well known to industry professionals: these units are where chemical reactions take place, that is, processes during which the chemical nature of the species involved changes. The starting substances in a reaction are called reactants, while the chemical compounds obtained are referred to as reaction products. The identity of a chemical species is determined by the number, arrangement, and type of atomic species that compose it.
The simulation of the operation of a reactor for a chemical and pharmaceutical plant is based on the matermatic model of the physical laws that outline the distinctive phenomena of the process.
The choice on the convenience of operation of a reactor stems from an economic parameter (minimum cost and / or maximum profit), even if in other years other reasons are increasing: the ecological and environmental aspect, the safety of people and health.
Dimensioning a reactor for the chemical and pharmaceutical industry: for the dimensioning of a reactor it is necessary to define the equilibrium composition of the reagent mixture. The solution is reached through the methods of equilibrium thermodynamics.
Next we need to solve the problem of the speed at which the reaction evolves.
Since 1949, Angelo Pilotta Srl has been designing and manufacturing pressure equipment and plants for the chemical, petrochemical, and pharmaceutical industries.
Numerous successful case histories and references provide our clients with the assurance of relying on a reliable plant manufacturer with high quality standards.
