Complete Process View
- Shorter project lead times & Lower total investment costs
- Very short interruption of the running production, especially in case of plant extensions/alterations
- Accurate and fresh assembly of the plant in the modern large-capacity assembly halls
- We make sure with our checkpoints on a Safety test, function test, and pre-delivery, including parameterization and configuration of the control system before the delivery plant
Introduction:
The hydrogenation reactor module consists of:
- The steel structure of the hydrogenation reactor
- Control system
- Accessories, Piping, and fittings
- Instrumentation
Typical hydrogenation reactor modules include reactor sizes ranging from 50 l to 500 l usable volume, 6–100 bar design pressure,, and can be made of various materials. Larger plants have more than one module, including a catalyst preparation station, a catalyst filter, a heating/cooling station, and a flue gas scrubber.

WORKING PRINCIPLE
- Feed Introduction: The substrate to be hydrogenated is fed into the reactor.
- Hydrogen Supply: Hydrogen gas is introduced into the reactor, typically from a high-pressure source.
- Catalyst Contact: The feed comes into contact with a catalyst within the reactor, facilitating the hydrogenation reaction.
- Reaction: Under controlled temperature and pressure, hydrogen atoms are added to the substrate molecules.
- Product Recovery: The hydrogenated product is separated from the catalyst and collected.
- Control System: Automated systems monitor and adjust parameters such as temperature, pressure, and hydrogen flow rate to maintain optimal reaction conditions.
APPLICATION
- Chemical Industry: Hydrogenation of unsaturated compounds, synthesis of alcohols, and production of specialty chemicals.
- Pharmaceuticals: Hydrogenation of intermediates and active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) for improved efficacy and stability.
