Inhibitor Component: Flow Rate Range 0.1-100 L/h

Component Specifications

Definition

The Inhibitor Component is a critical part of the Catalyst/Inhibitor System used in chemical manufacturing to precisely meter and deliver inhibitor substances into a reactor. It ensures controlled suppression of unwanted side reactions, maintaining product quality and process safety. The component typically includes a storage vessel, dosing pump, flow control valves, and injection nozzle, all designed for corrosive or hazardous chemicals.

Working Principle

The inhibitor is stored in a pressurized vessel and metered via a precision dosing pump. Flow control valves regulate the injection rate based on process signals (e.g., temperature, pressure, or reaction rate). The inhibitor is injected directly into the reactor through a nozzle that ensures rapid dispersion and mixing with the reaction mixture.

Materials

316L stainless steel or Hastelloy C-276 for wetted parts; PTFE seals; borosilicate glass for sight glasses.
