CHEMICAL REACTIONS

TPT has a full scale chemical plant with a wide variety of reactor capabilities offering a powerful combination to meet your chemical needs.

About 13 reactors equipped with steam-heating and water-cooling facilities are available. Some reactors have a scrubber. 6 reactors are in carbon steel and 7 are in stainless steel, each reactor has a mixer.

All reactors have various pipes for adding liquids and some have a bin for dosing powders.

Filtration and Evaporization
Other unit operations to be combined with the value-adding material-handling operations that are possible at TPT are:

Bex Filtration
Belt filters and stirred tanks in an efficient counter-current ion-exchange process. The combination of various belt filters and stirred tanks enables the mixing and separation of liquids and solids

Drum Filtration
Filtration on a drum by means of vacuum, using a pre-coat as a filter medium

Evaporizing/Filtration
Filtered liquids can be concentrated through evaporation by using one or more evaporators We would welcome the opportunity to discuss your specific chemical requirements.

TPT also offers specific value-adding material-handling operations. The intention is that these operations are performed by means of dedicated equipment which implies that specific processes require relatively large quantities.

Particle classification
Powders can be separated on particle size, e.g. by sifting out particles smaller than 20 or 30 micron from the bulk of the material. This sifting process is performed by means of an air classifier with feed and product bins.

Flash drying
Fine powders are dried by means of flash dryers. In the flash dryer, the solid substance is exposed to hot air and in this way; the humidity can be reduced to the desired level.

Calcination
In a rotary-drum furnace, powder is calcined at temperatures of up to 800 degrees C.

Blending
By fluidization in a special blender, powders can be blended to a homogeneous substance.
