Thanks everyone for the swift replies.
@Chemitofreak It would seem that the design conditions are indeed in favor of a plastic medium to withstand the high temp. and very caustic environment. Just thru Google alone, I do not see any reactors made out of HDPE or PVC, but perhaps you are aware...
Hi, I am wondering about the use of HDPE and other plastics (namely PVC and CPVC) in the chemical plant environment. Are these only used mainly for storage purposes, or do we find reactors made out of these materials?
I understand that it may not be the best idea to construct a reactor out of...
Out of curiosity, is anyone aware of any publications, flow diagrams, reports, etc. published by process engineers?
I was under the impression that engineers did not give talks or publish papers as do scientists (i.e chemists, physicists), or at least were not expected to, but just wanted to...
