Continuous Stirred Tank Reactor System

Continuous stirred-tank reactors (CSTRs) are open systems, where reactants are free to enter or exit the system. They operate in a steady state condition Reactants are continuously introduced into the reactor, while products are continuously removed.

1. Volume ranges from 25mL to 2000 Ltrs
2. MOC available Glass, Stainless steel, Inconel, Hastalloy, Incolloy (800, 800H and 800HT, Monel, Titanium etc.)
3. Designed for proper mixing of the contents
4. Can be operated on different ranges of temperatures and pressures.

Salient Features of Continuous Stirred Tank Reactors Systems:

1. Reactants are very well mixed, so they have relatively uniform properties such as temperature, composition, density, etc. throughout.
2. Working pressures as high as 300 bar (g) and temperatures up to 500 Deg C.
3. Multiple CSTRs can be used for immiscible or viscous liquids requiring high agitation rates.
4. Reactors can be customized as per application needs and configured in series, parallel, or multitoned setups.
5. Each system is designed in accordance with relevant international standards.
6. Suitable for various area classifications like safe, explosive, atex various zones etc.
7. Systems are automated using computer-based PLC and SCADA software’s.
8. International Design and manufacturing standards followed.
9. Systems are thoughtfully designed for easy assembly and low-maintenance operation
10. Our systems are designed such that maintenance is easy and cost effective.

Fixed Bed Reactor System

Fixed Bed reactors designed and manufactured by Pilon Engineering have high Pressure and   Temperature.

1. Also known as FBR, these tubular reactors contain catalyst pellets and support uni-, bi-, or multi-conversion rate per catalyst weight compared to other catalytic reactors. Directional flow for reactant conversion
2. At Pilon, we offer various catalyst configurations such as a single large bed, multiple horizontal beds, parallel packed tubes, and separate beds in individual shells
3. Various configurations may be adapted depending on the need to maintain temperature control within the system.
4. You may have pellets of various shapes and sizes i.e. spherical, cylindrical, or randomly shaped pellets. They range from 0.25 cm to 2.0 cm in diameter. Pilon helps accommodate them all.

Salient Features of Fixed Bed Reactor Systems:

1. 1. Available in volumes from 5 mL to 100 L, Pilon reactors handle up to 500 barg and 1200°C, with MOCs like Glass, SS, Inconel, Hastelloy, Incoloy (800 series), Monel, and Titanium. Customizable for series, parallel, or multizoned setups, all designs follow international standards and consider area classifications for maximum safety.
   2. Our systems feature in-house integration with PLC-SCADA using reputed components—piping, valves, gauges, controllers, thermocouples, furnaces, flow controllers, sensors, panels, and software. Thoughtful design ensures easy assembly, efficient catalyst loading/unloading, and enhanced reactant-catalyst contact, leading to 3. higher product yield. They perform effectively under high temperature and pressure, and close collaboration with our team ensures optimal system understanding and output.

Packed Bed Reactor System

A packed bed reactor is a hollow vessel such as a tube or pipe filled with packing material tailored to the specific application or service.

1. The packing can be randomly filled with small objects like Ranching rings, saddle packing’s, or Pall rings, or use specially designed structured packing. At Pilon, we help you achieve the ideal packing solution.
2. Our Packed beds may also contain catalyst particles or adsorbents such as zeolite pellets, granular activated carbon, etc.
3. The purpose of a packed bed is typically to improve contact between two phases in a chemical or similar process.
4. Packed beds are used in chemical reactors, distillation, scrubbers, and also for heat storage in chemical plants.
5. Our PBRs are used in fine chemicals, oil & gas, petrochemicals, pharmaceuticals, pesticides, and research centers.

    Salient Features of Packed Bed Reactor System:

1. MOCs like Glass, Stainless Steel, Inconel, Hastelloy, Incolloy (800 series), Monel, and Titanium. They offer high catalyst conversion rates and customizable configurations—series, parallel, or multizoned.
2. Designed and manufactured per international standards (PED, ASME, CE) and suitable for various area classifications (safe, explosive, ATEX zones). In-house PLC-SCADA integration uses reputable components for smooth assembly, easy maintenance, and simple catalyst/packing handling.
3. Enhanced reactant-catalyst contact increases product yield, all at low construction, operation, and maintenance costs. Available in volumes from 5 mL to 100 L, Pilon reactors operate up to 500 barg and 1200°C with

Trickle Bed Reactor System

1. Primarily used for hydrodesulfurization, Pilon specializes in trickle bed reactors where liquid flows downward over a catalyst bed, with pressure differences driving solid-liquid-gas contact
2. In trickle bed reactors, fluid flows over catalyst particles forming fine films, rivulets, or droplets, while gas flows co-currently or counter-currently. They mainly operate continuously but can be semi-batch, offer low catalyst attrition, and work efficiently across various temperatures and pressures.

  Salient Features of Trickle Bed Reactor System:

1. Available in volumes from 5 mL to 100 L, Pilon reactors handle pressures up to 500 barg and temperatures up to 1200°C, with materials of construction including Glass, Stainless Steel, Inconel, Hastelloy, Incolloy (800 series), Monel, and Titanium.
2. High conversion rates per catalyst weight are achievable. Reactors are customizable and can be configured in series, parallel, or multizoned setups. Pilon ensures all designs comply with international standards, regardless of system size.

Suitable for safe, explosive, and ATEX zone classifications. Pilon integrates fully automated PLC and SCADA systems, using reputable brands for piping, valves, and equipment. Designs ensure smooth assembly and easy maintenance with efficient layouts.
