We are a company specializing in the design, construction and installation of equipment and complete systems for the chemical, pharmaceutical and food industries.
Over the years, we have developed construction expertise for photochemical plants that allows us to create systems for testing new processes with plants composed of a few easily scalable UV reactors for industrial production and achievable in batches, thus increasing production capacity in proportion with considerable savings in costs and lead times.
Photochemical synthesis occurs in shielded reactors made of borosilicate glass 3.3, with ATEX aluminium heads, and equipped with UV lamps of 36+36W, or other powers, contained in quartz sheaths that improve the reaction due to greater transparency in relation to the wavelength of ultraviolet light compared to borosilicate glass.
The positioning of the reactors in series within the single batch allows increasing the yield of the photochemical reaction of the single lamp. Thermal control within the batches placed in parallel is carried out through shell and tube heat exchangers, thus mitigating excessive product overheating. The plants can be supplemented with reactors, pumps, auxiliary or coil-type shell and tube heat exchangers, process and safety valves, temperature transmitters, and other necessary instrumentation.
An example of a photochemical pilot plant with 2 reactors, complete with all reaction components, and particularly suitable for research and development of new processes.
