Full Vacuum As additional safety, SUPER offers SUPERCOAT protective coating
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.

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

The liquid and gas through put ratio can be selected within wide

also possible to vary the ratio of the two flow rates to each other by DN

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 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

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.
Options include: heating jacket.
Sizes available: 5 litres to 100 litres.
