Reactors and Pressure Reactors for the Chemical and Process Industries

Reactors are a key part of many production processes in the chemical industry. They can be used to process liquids, gases, slurries, or combinations of these at high temperatures and pressures.

The pressure reactors manufactured by West Welding are designed to meet the customer’s process requirements. We manufacture equipment from a wide range of materials and can accommodate very high material thicknesses.

The following factors are taken into account during manufacturing:

  • Process temperature and pressure requirements
  • Corrosion conditions
  • Material compatibility
  • Maintainability and service life
  • Customer-specific plant requirements

Bleaching reactors for the pulp and paper industry

A bleaching reactor is a key piece of equipment in pulp bleaching processes. Its purpose is to provide controlled chemical treatment to achieve the desired end-product quality and process efficiency.

West Welding has experience in manufacturing bleaching reactors for the pulp and paper industry.

Reactor for the Pulp and Paper Industry

Reactors used in the pulp and paper industry can be part of bleaching, treatment, or recycling processes. The aim is to ensure high availability and stable process performance throughout the equipment’s service life. Reactors are designed to withstand continuous operation and demanding chemical conditions. Material selection and manufacturing methods are optimized according to the operating environment.

Bioreactors for Industrial Bioprocesses and Circular Economy Applications

The following factors are taken into account in the design of bioreactors:

  • Process Cleanliness Requirements
  • Mixing Solutions
  • Operating Temperatures
  • Pressure Conditions
  • Material Resistance

Processing bio-based raw materials requires process equipment designed for the specific operating conditions and properties of the materials being processed. Reactors can be used at various stages of biomass processing, where requirements for pressure, corrosion resistance, and materials can vary significantly. We design and manufacture reactors for demanding bio-based processes using materials such as Duplex and Super Duplex stainless steels. When required, our scope of supply can also include related on-site and piping installation services.

Reactors and Process Separators for the Mining Industry

Reactors used in the mining industry are an important part of metal recovery, beneficiation, and chemical processing. These processes require reliable equipment solutions and high manufacturing quality to ensure efficient and safe operation.

West Welding also supplies reactors for the mining and minerals industry.

Low-pressure separator

The low-pressure separator is suitable for processes where separation takes place at lower operating pressures while maintaining the same high quality standards.

Process Separator for Industrial Applications

A process separator can be customized to suit the customer’s specific application in the chemical, energy, pulp and paper, or mining industries.

High-Pressure Separator

A high-pressure separator separates different phases from process streams under demanding pressure conditions. The equipment must have high mechanical strength and ensure reliable operation.

Hydrogen Sulfide Generators for Process Solutions

A hydrogen sulfide generator is a specialized piece of equipment used in various chemical processes. Process safety, material durability, and equipment reliability are critical factors in the design of the unit.

West Welding manufactures hydrogen sulfide generators according to customer-specific technical requirements as part of demanding process equipment deliveries.
