Glass lined reaction tank: efficient and durable chemical equipment

Glass lined reaction tank is a common equipment in the chemical industry, which has attracted much attention for its unique performance and wide application fields. As a composite material product made by spraying glass glaze containing high silica on the surface of metal matrix and sintering at high temperature, the glass lined reaction tank combines the advantages of glass stability and metal strength, and has become one of the indispensable equipment in chemical production.

1. Structural characteristics

It usually consists of a tank, mixer, heating/cooling device, inlet and outlet ports, etc. The interior of its glass lined reaction tank is covered with a smooth enamel glass, which has good corrosion resistance and high temperature resistance, can withstand the erosion of various chemical substances, and is easy to clean and maintain. The mixer is responsible for thoroughly mixing the reactants and improving reaction efficiency. Heating/cooling devices are used to control the reaction temperature and ensure that the reaction process proceeds under suitable conditions.

2. Application scenarios

Glass lined reaction tanks are widely used in industries such as chemical, pharmaceutical, dye, pesticide, and food. In the chemical industry, it is often used in synthesis, esterification, polymerization, condensation and other reaction processes; In the pharmaceutical industry, it is used to prepare pharmaceutical intermediates, active pharmaceutical ingredients, etc; In the dye and pesticide industry, it is used to synthesize various dyes and pesticide raw materials; In the food industry, it is used for processing, seasoning and other processes.

3. Performance advantages

Strong corrosion resistance: The enamel layer of enamel glass has excellent corrosion resistance and can withstand the erosion of various chemicals such as acids, alkalis, salts, etc., extending the service life of equipment.
Good high temperature resistance: The glass lined reaction tank can withstand high working temperatures and is suitable for the reaction process of various thermosensitive substances.
Easy to clean: The surface of the enamel layer is smooth and not easily adhered to materials, making it easy to clean and maintain, and reducing production costs.

Good sealing performance: The various components of the equipment adopt a sealing structure to ensure no material leakage during the reaction process and guarantee production safety.

4. Maintenance and upkeep

To ensure the long-term stable operation of the glass lined reaction tank, regular maintenance and upkeep are required. Specifically, it includes: regularly checking the sealing performance of equipment to ensure no leakage; Regularly clean the interior of the tank to remove attachments; Regularly inspect the operation of components such as mixers and heating/cooling devices, and promptly replace damaged parts; Avoid operating the equipment under no-load or overload conditions to extend its service life.
In summary, glass lined reaction tanks play an important role in the chemical industry due to their unique structure and performance advantages. With the continuous advancement of technology and the continuous development of the market, the performance of glass lined reaction tanks will be further improved, and their application fields will become more extensive.
