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.
