ACHIEVE CHEM recently encountered a customer who inquired about a 100 liter stainless steel reactor and expressed their demand for the product. Customer Mr. P stated that they need to produce sodium silicate with a molar ratio of 2:0-2.3 and plan to use silica sand and caustic soda before adding water. During this process, the customer raised specific requirements regarding reaction conditions and required equipment. In order to meet the customer's demand for a 100 liter stainless steel reactor, ACHIEVE CHEM's technical team conducted in-depth communication and exchange with the customer.

Careful analysis and evaluation by the technical team, ACHIEVE CHEM explained the importance of sodium silicate molar ratio to the customer and pointed out the dissolution characteristics and relevant regulations under different molar ratios. Subsequently, the team preliminarily confirmed the necessary data for the reaction system based on the operating conditions provided by the customer, including temperature range, pressure range, and reactor material, and assured the customer that the company's equipment could fully meet their needs.After ACHIEVE CHEM provided the customer with detailed information about the reactor, Mr. P expressed his demand for a complete set of technical solutions. After confirming the customer's needs, ACHIEVE CHEM's sales team quickly responded and provided the customer with a detailed quotation. After consultation and confirmation between both parties, the customer accepted the quotation and placed an order and made payment.

Communication content:

Mr. P: Hello, our company needs to purchase a 100 liter stainless steel reactor for producing sodium silicate with a molar ratio of 2:0-2.3. We plan to use silica sand and caustic soda, and then add water.

ACHIEVE CHEM: Hello, for the requirement of molar ratio, we have learned that Na2O. nSiO2, n (molar ratio)=SiO2/NaO2, usually ranging from 1.5 to 3.5. According to regulations, as n increases, it becomes more difficult to dissolve in water. When n=1, it can dissolve in water at room temperature, but as n increases, it may require heating the water to dissolve. If n>3, higher pressure is required to dissolve. In addition, as n increases, the silicon content and viscosity also increase.

 

Mr. P: This information is very helpful to us. Our expected operating conditions are as follows: the temperature range is room temperature to 250 ℃, and the pressure range is 1 atmospheric pressure to 4 bar. We plan to use a 100 liter SUS 304/316 reactor. Do you think your equipment can meet our needs under such conditions?

ACHIEVE CHEM: Based on the information you provided, we believe that our 100 liter SUS 304/316 reactor can fully meet your needs. Based on your operating conditions, our engineering team has preliminarily confirmed the necessary data for the reaction system and believes that our equipment can complete your reaction.

 

Mr. P: We have acknowledged the technical solution you provided and now we hope to commission ACHIEVE CHEM for further research and development to address the challenges we face in this field. We hope to collaborate with your company to seek innovative solutions together.

ACHIEVE CHEM: Thank you very much for recognizing our technical solution and looking forward to further cooperation with us. We are very happy to provide you with research and development services. In response to the challenges you face in this field, we will form a professional team dedicated to finding innovative solutions.

 

Mr. P: We are very confident in your company's research and development capabilities and experimental technology, and hope to start relevant work as soon as possible.

ACHIEVE CHEM: We will immediately initiate the project and arrange a professional team to provide you with research and development services. We will find excellent solutions for you through unremitting efforts and exquisite technology. Throughout the entire research and development process, we will maintain close communication to ensure that you are constantly updated on the progress of the project. Looking forward to working together with you to create a better future.

At the beginning of the experiment, the technical team encountered the problem of slow dissolution rate of raw materials, which led to slow progress of the experiment. Faced with this challenge, team members immediately engaged in discussions, combined with their respective experiences and knowledge, to analyze possible causes and propose solutions. After careful discussion and experimentation, the team ultimately determined the appropriate stirring speed and temperature conditions to promote the dissolution of the raw materials, thus smoothly advancing the experimental process. In addition, during the experiment, the team also encountered some issues with low purity of reaction products, which affected the accuracy of the experimental results. To address this issue, the technical team conducted extensive literature research and experimental validation, and tailored the reaction conditions and operating steps accordingly. After multiple experiments and data analysis, the team successfully improved the purity of the product and ensured the reliability of the experimental results.
