This reactor was designed and manufactured by our team of experts, complying with the ASME Section VIII Division 1 and API 934 C standards, a specialized code for materials and manufacturing of thick-walled pressure vessels made of chrome-molybdenum steel, intended for high-pressure hydrogen services.
To ensure the highest safety and integrity of the equipment, a rigorous selection and inspection of materials were conducted, along with the application of specialized welding techniques. Each joint underwent strict dehydrogenation processes, ensuring the reactor’s reliability under highly demanding operating conditions.
