ASME Vessels, Reactors & Specialty Alloys
A1-INGOT Series
As the chemistry becomes larger, more complex, corrosive and demanding, Apical alloy jacketed reactor & tank solutions often play a critical role in reliable processing.
Apical has taken years of validated field experience and added further insight from our deep network of industry professionals. We combine academic principles with cutting-edge design to provide equipment that can be relied on for years to come with safe, easy operation, high throughputs and consistent product.
Choose the correct method of construction is critical in protecting processing equipment from corrosion across a wide range of conditions. Countless alloys have been developed to address the specific pitfalls of each industry when building equipment for long-term production and a good return on investment. These factors ensure equipment longevity, particularly when faced with strong acids under high pressures and temperatures. On the product side, a resilient alloy is preventing contamination when it resists corrosion and scavenging. These materials are critical to functioning in industries utilizing APIs, nuclear, hazardous and chemicals manufacturing.
Apical reactors have scale-up in mind, maintaining consistent ratios of dimension as they grow to ensure a reliable transition to larger processing. And, when scaling the ancillary systems, Apical works with trusted manufacturing partners known for their robust support staff and resilient equipment.
Considering these finer points is key to:
high throughputs
proper material selection
equipment lifespan
corrosion & stress analysis
process development
facility safety
efficient commercialization
