Pressure Reactor Systems
Safe at high pressure and high temperature
Robust reactor technology — turnkey systems from 0.1 to 100 liters
HITEC ZANG is your partner for the smooth execution of demanding high-pressure projects. For almost 20 years, we have delivered customized solutions for a wide range of applications, including polymerizations, hydrogenations, syngas reactions, ammonia synthesis, and steam sterilization in fermenters.
Plant engineering & automation from a single source
We support you from the planning and conceptual design of pressure reactor systems - especially in research and development (R&D). Thanks to our modular process control system, we can also automate all common reactor setups, whether you already have a system or are planning a completely new one - we’ll find the right solution for you.
Your Advantages at a Glance
- One partner for a reliable and efficient system
- Precise and reproducible results
- Complete documentation and processing of analytical data
- Fully automated experiment execution
- Run experiments overnight / over the weekend
- In-house plant engineering with nearly 20 years of experience in design and manufacturing
High-quality Manufacturing
When selecting components, we work in long-standing cooperation with well-known manufacturers such as JUCHHEIM Laborgeräte GmbH, Wilhelm-Schmidt GmbH, DeDiedrich, Swagelok, and WIKA. JUCHHEIM is one of our close sales partners. Thanks to our proximity to the manufacturers, pressure reactor projects can be implemented especially quickly and smoothly.
Typical Challenges with Pressure Reactors
With great pressure comes great responsibility: higher pressure and higher temperature introduce hazards that must be assessed and prevented. To ensure your project runs smoothly, HITEC ZANG is a reliable partner at your side. When designing pressure reactor systems, we strictly comply with all standards and directives (PED, Machinery Directive) and have the system ultimately secured and approved by a notified body.
The Technical Ecosystem of a Pressure Reactor System
A modern high-pressure system consists of many individual parts that work together. Our systems are built around a fully integrated technology loop:
- Reactor: stainless steel (1.4404/1.4571), Hastelloy, glass, …
- Instrumentation: pressure, temperature, flow, …
- Peripheral equipment: temperature control, dosing (gases, liquids), sampling, …
- Safety: pressure relief valves, rupture disks, SIL, ATEX, …
- Automation: control loops, sequences, recipes, interfaces, …
- Software & data: OPC UA, Modbus RTU/TCP, online analytics, …
