Buchiglas specializes in engineering and building of complete reaction systems for production scales ranging from 250 to 10’000 liters.
| Glass-lined steel reactor: | 250 - 10'000 liter |
| Pressure: | -1.0 (FV) to +0.5 bar |
| Temperature: | -60 °C (-90 °C) to +200 °C |
| Material: | Borosilicate glass 3.3, glass-lined steel, PTFE, PFA, tantalum |
By combining glass lined steel (or Hastelloy®) reactors with distillation overheads made from borosilicate 3.3 using our proprietary flexible glass piping system buchiflex. We build customized, highly corrosion resistant solutions optimized for cGMP requirements and in full compliance with ATEX regulations.
Our systems are designed to support seamless scale up, provide process visibility, ensure operational reliability and production output second to none. Our operations focused designs and highly reliable, sturdy apparatus components lead to maximized operational performance and shortest possible down times (during campaign switches and cleaning).
Our production scale systems are designed for a wide range of chemical processes, including:
| Full customization | Customized process plants through the integration of diverse functionalities, including dosing pumps and weighing systems, ensuring that the systems are optimized for the specific process requirements. |
| Flexible piping | Built with our proprietary buchiflex glass piping system (DN15 – DN150) for flexible, stress-free piping connections and quick changes with short downtimes due to its flexibility. |
| Corrosion resistance | Combinations of glass lined steel (or Hastelloy®), borosilicate glass 3.3, fluoropolymers and ceramics guarantee highest levels of corrosion resistance. |
| Process visibility | Glass overheads allow visual monitoring of the process, even at production scale – visibility is assurance.
|
| Volume | >250 -10’000 liters (DIN AE / BE type ) |
| Pressure | -1.0 (FV) to +0.5 bar in glass distillation overhead (higher reactor pressures possible by using split-off valves) |
| Temperature | -60 °C to +200 °C |
| Materials | Borosilicate glass 3.3, glass-lined steel, PTFE, PFA, Hastelloy® (C22/ C276), tantalum, titanium, silicon carbide (SiC) |
We offer more than just equipment; we provide complete, engineered solutions all from one source – on site, on time and performing. From reactor vessel, customized glass overhead to auxiliary equipment, our systems are fully integrated to maximize operational performance, efficiency, safety and service life. Buchiglas acts as a one stop shop from basic design, engineering, manufacturing/procurement to assembly and installation on site (including FAT, SAT, commissioning and IQ/OQ).
