Our staff of experienced technologists and engineers has delivered many significant projects around the world:

Loop Reactors


Over the past twenty-five years, our staff has been designing and constructing Loop Reactor Plants for a variety of Gas/Liquid reactions, including hydrogenations, ethoxylations, and alkylations. Our extensive experience also includes many front-end studies and pilot plant trials.

Our staff designed the Loop Reactor for the Boots Hoechst Celanese Ibuprofen project in Bishop, Texas, the winner of the Kirkpatrick Award for innovative plant design. Most of our plants have been supplied with process guarantees, and many were delivered using a modular approach.

Today, our staff continues to offer a qualified and specialized team of hydrogenation and ethoxylation experts for Loop Reactor plants.
