system to protect glass process plant.The protective coating provides
additional protection against risk of injury, release of corrosive liquids
or loss of expensive material in the event of accidental breakage. The
entire range of glass components listed in the catalogue can be
supplied with SUPERCOAT.
It is important to note that the application of SUPERCOAT does not
increase the maximum working pressure.
The coating is applied in a transparent / translucent form to the glass
components. The SUPERCOAT protects the surface of the glass during
storage, transport, installation and operation.
SUPERCOAT will protect the glass from impact damage up to a process
operating temperature of 125°C.

Static Electricity
Electrostatic Charge Generation
Electrostatic charge generation in glass vessels and piping systems
occurs due to:-
• The agitation of a low conductivity fluid in a vessel, or The flow of a
low conductivity liquid through a piping system.
• The charge generated is retained in the fluid and due to the low
conductivity cannot be dissipated (even if the fluid is in contact with
a high conductivity pure metal vessel/pipe wall).
Charge generation will occur whether the vessel/ pipework is glass or
of metal construction.
The charge generated depends on the actual operating conditions. For
more information contact our technical department.

Introduction STRAIGHT THROUGH VALVES (LINE VALVES)

Valves and filters form an essential part of any process plant or

system in a wide range of applications from relatively simple
on/off function to control, pressure relief and filtering. DN1

All wetted parts of valves and filters described in this section of the
catalogue are constructed from Boroslilicate glass and PTFE, thus DN

ensuring maximum resistance to corrosion. In addition, as valves

have a glass body, visual monitoring of the valve operation is
possible at all times. Complete valve consists of Glass Valve Body, L

PTFE Bellow with nut, Bakelite Valve Bonnet with MS Spindle etc. DN DN1 L Bar.g. Catalogue
Aluminum Valve Bonnet is also available and can be supplied upon Reference

For permissible operating conditions, unless otherwise stated in
the individual descriptions, please see Chapter 1- Technical ANGLE VALVES 90o
Information. Generally, the maximum operating temperatures
above ambient, particularly in the range from 120oC to 200oC,
impose restrictions on the permissible operating pressure. In
case of doubt, please consult our Technical Department for further
information. DN

For Super Coated items, add a suffix C to the standard catalogue

Adjustable Overflow Valves Typical Applications

These valves provide a means of externally adjusting the level
inside a vessel. They are ideal for use with liquid separators or
liquid/liquid extractors.
Within the valve, the lower end of the PTFE bellows is in the form
of a tube of accurately machined external diameter which operates
inside a precision bore glass tube. Its position can be adjusted
within given limits to set the required overflow level.
In application where the system is not self-venting via the overflow
line, a vent line can be connected to the DN1 branch.
SGBAL 40 This is used with Spherical and Cylinder vessels with
long bottom outlet fitted with sealed-in valve seat.
For example where a vessels is to be installed in
heating/cooling or heating mantle.
SGBAS 40 This is used with cylindrical or spherical vessels with
short bottom nozzles.
Unlike type SGBAS and SGBAL bottom outlet valves shown above
the type SGRFC bottom outlet valve is designed for use with
spherical and cylindrical vessels which do not have and integral
glass seat sealed into the bottom outlet.

Three Way Flow Change Valves
With normal three way valves it is possible to close both outlets at
the same time by mistake which can result in the build-up of excess
pressure in the line and also in the plant itself. The valve described
here provided a safe solution to this problem since the design DN1
ensures that free flow through the valve is never impeded.
The use of a three way flow change valve is recommended when a
plant is operated batch wise, under vacuum and needs to be

connected to the vacuum pump and the other (in reverse direction
of flow) is used for venting purpose. L2

uniform distribution in the liquid even when used with large
reaction vessels or similar equipment.
The liquid and gas through put ratio can be selected within wide
limits with the valves fully opened. This is achieved by appropriate
adjustment of the gas feed pressure, selection of an appropriate
diameter for the gas inlet holes or changing the liquid flow rate. It is
also possible to vary the ratio of the two flow rates to each other by DN
adjusting the setting of the control cone.

standard vessels are generally DN 25, DN 40 or DN 100. DN 25 and vessels can be used in a heating mantle or heating bath. Use of
bottom outlet valve prevents the accumulation of solid in the

bottom nozzel.
exception to this are spherical vessels which have DN 50, DN 80
and DN 150 side branches at 90° to the vertical and are used mainly DN
in boiler circulatory systems. The smaller branches are normally
used for such components as thermometer pockets and feed DN1
pipes. The DN 100 branches are normally used for charging solids 5O DN2
or for the connection of vapour pipes when the top branch is used 45O

for a stirrer.

In applications where temperature control is necessary, heating

baths and mantles are available and detailed on relevant page in
this chapter. In addition, some glass vessels are available with DN5 L1
jacket for close temperature control. If spherical or cylindrical
vessels are used in conjunction with a heating mantle or bath, a
longer bottom outlet is required and should be specified when
ordering.

Introduction
The overall heat transfer co-efficient of borosilicate glass
equipment compare favourably with many alternative process
plant construction materials. This is because the smooth surfaces
of the glass improve the film coefficient and reduce the tendency
for fouling.
Heat Exchangers
Glass Coil Type Heat Exchanger
Heat Exchangers are used for condensation of vapours or cooling of
gas or liquids. Heat Exchangers are made by fusing number of
parallel coils in a glass shell. Coils are made in different diameters
using tube of different bores. Coil Heat Exchangers are normally
installed in vertical position were the space is a constraint, this
Heat Exchangers can be installed in horizontal position also.

Two basic types of glass heat exchanger are described in this Precautions :

Glass Immersion Heat Exchangers
Immersion heat exchangers are used to control exothermic
reactions in glass vessels. In most applications, cooling water is
used in the coils, but they can also be used with steam. In the latter
case the coils must always be completely immersed in the liquid.
The SGHEM 225 has a central hole through the coil battery so that
an extended type stirrer shaft can be fitted. This extends to the
bottom of the heat exchanger and provides a through mixing
action
These heat exchangers are not recommended for use with
products which have tendency to crystallise.
The maximum pressure in the coils is 3.0 bar. g. The maximum
differential pressure across the coils is 3.0 bar

Column sections and pipe sections may be used for the construction of
columns of all nominal bores provided that the weight of the packing

Support Plates for Pipe Sections
If the free cross-section obtained with the combination of column
sections and packing supports are not large enough, then) an
alternative is to use PS pipe sections in combination with fixed support
plates.
Each item comprises the glass supports plate, screwed rod with nuts
and the special backing flange required for the assembly. This support
plate provides high cross sectional area and more packing height.
PTFE Redistributors
Type A PTFE redistributors are installed in the same way as gaskets
between two flat buttress end faces and therefore when using them,
no gasket is required. Type B redistributors are filled on the column

Column with Distribution Tray
For larger nominal bore columns, particularly when packed with a
100 25 25 205 110 100 SGCA 100/25/25 random packing, we recommend using special liquid distributors and
100 40 25 205 120 100 SGCA 100/40/25 the redistribution of the liquid phase at intervals. These ensure that
100 40 40 205 120 100 SGCA 100/40/40 optimum mass transfer conditions are achieved.

Introduction
–The couplings designed for use with our glass process plant and
pipeline components are of major importance from two main
points of view.
– They must ensure that the bolt load applied to the joint is sufficient
to make an effective leakproof joint while not inducing under
stress on glass.
– They must be totally reliable in all service conditions.
Couplings
Backing Flanges
Backing flanges detailed in this chapter up to and including DN 450 are
one piece units and for DN 600 it is available in two pieces. Backing
flanges are used to couple to glass end or to a bellow. Backing flanges
are made from cast iron and are used with inserts.
SS Flanges can be made available on request. Powder coated flanges
can also be supplied on request.

This chapter of the catalogue covers not only the necessary couplings
to join glass process plant and pipeline components together but also
the couplings needed to join glass to other materials. For glass plants
installed in relatively corrosive environments, the added advantage is ød x n
the availability of couplings constructed form various materials
including stainless steel and plastic.
DN refers to the nominal bore. Unless otherwise all dimensions are
given in mm. For permissible operating conditions, unless otherwise
stated in the individual descriptions, please see chapter 1-Technical
Information. D

Hcl Gas Generation (Calcium Chloride Route)
This plant has been designed by Super as a continuous process to produce dry HCl gas by Azeotropic Distillation of 30% hydrochloric acid
solution along with a co-current stream of calcium chloride solution.

A pre-heated steam of 30% hydrochloric acid solution and simultaneously a co-current stream of concentrated calcium chloride solution is
fed into the Azeotropic Distillation column. The azeotrope formed between HCl and water is broken by calcium chloride and as a result
almost all the HCl present in the solution is released in form of gas. The heat energy for the distillation process and the evaporation process
is supplied by steam via heat exchangers acting as thermosyphon reboilers.The vapour from the reboiler strips the available gas from the
feed acid solution in the column.

The condensation system at top of Azeotropic Distillation column consists of:

1. CW condenser cooled by cooling water
2. Chilled Brine Condenser cooled by chilled Brine.

The top product HCl gas is dried in the Sulphuric acid trap. 98% Sulphuric acid to be charged in the glass vessel which absorbs moisture form
HCl Gas The moisture content in the product HCl gas is expected to be less than 0.5%.

The bottom product is dilute calcium chloride solution with some traces of HCl content. The dilute CaCl2 solution is concentrated in the
evaporator and the re-concentrated CaCl2 solution is recycled to the distillation column via pump. Vapour liquid separator is provided for
separation of acidic water vapour and Concentrated Calcium Chloride.

The vapour from the evaporation process consists of water and expected to contain approx than 2-3% HCl. This water vapour is condensed
in the heat exchanger prior to discharge. Acidic Condensate is sent to the effluent through barometric seal pot.

All the wetted parts of the system are fabricated from corrosion resistant materials (Glass /PTFE) for the process conditions envisaged

Wiped Film Evaporator
The thin or wiped film evaporator is the ideal apparatus for
continuous processing of heat-sensitive, viscous and fouling
products. The key operating features consists of high specific
heat transfer, short residence time, low pressure drop and
operation under low vacuum. The highly agitated thin film feed
of product on heated surface, makes it suitable for handling wide
range of heat sensitive and viscous materials.
1.Drive Assembly.
2.Feed enters at top through feed inlet nozzle.
3.Rotating Distributor.
4.Disperses the feed evenly on to the heated wall.
5. Slotted wiper blades spread, agitate and move the feed down on
the heated shell in very short time.
6. Vapours are condensed in an external condenser and the
distillate is collected in the receiver vessel.

± Heating is done by heat transfer fluids circulated through the

jacket for evaporating volatile compounds under vacuum.
± The remaining bottoms stream exits the WFE and is collected in
product receiver flask.

Falling Film Evaporator

The falling film evaporator is particularly useful in applications
where the driving force is the temperature difference between the
heat transfer medium and the liquid is small. The combination of
short liquid retention time and the ability to operate at low delta T
makes the falling film evaporator ideal for concentrating the most
heat sensitive materials.
In falling film evaporators, liquid and vapours flow downwards in
parallel flow. Liquor is fed into the top liquor chamber of the heat
exchanger where it is distributed to each tube. The liquid will flow
downwards forming a thin film, from which the boiling /
evaporation will take place because of the heat applied by the
steam. The steam will condense and flow downwards on the outer
surface of the tube. A number of tubes are built together side by
side. At each end the tubes are fixed to tube plates and finally the
tube bundle is enclosed by a jacket. The steam is introduced
through the jacket. The space between the tubes is thus forming
the heating section. The liquor accelerates in velocity as it
descends inside the tubes because of the gravity and drag of the
vapour generated by boiling. The proper design of distribution
device at the top ensures sufficient coverage of tubes by
distributing the liquid evenly and uniformly over the tubes. The
remaining part enters the subsequent separator tangentially
together with the vapour. The separated concentrate is discharged
from the bottom of separator and the vapour leaves the separator
from the top. The heating steam, which condenses on the outer
surface of the tubes, is collected as condensate at the bottom part
of the heating section, from where it is discharged by means of
pump.
Advantages –
± No elevation on boiling point due to hydrostatic head.
± Short residence time of the liquid in the evaporator.

Nutsche Filter
The borosilicate glass/PTFE Nutsche filter is very useful for filtrations using acidic media. Neutsche Filters are widely used for the
separation of mother liquor and the solid product, in chemical, Pharmaceutical and other process industries. It can hold bigger quantity of
material and hence frequency of cleaning of the filter media is very less. The operating pressure is 0.5 bar and vacuum is used to speed up
filtration. The perforated filter plate is constructed from glass reinforced PTFE, the TOP AND BOTTOM cover is Glass Filled PTFE & PP cloth is
used for the filter membrane itself.
The filter cake can be discharged by simply pivoting the glass cylinder with the perforated filter plate. The design of the filter plate has
reduced the dead volume under the filter meaning these filters are especially useful for solid phase synthesis. Nutsche filters mounted on
wheels can be transported to wherever they are required.
