Today’s photo highlights a 3D pipe reactor. A pipe reactor is an acid-base reaction vessel used in the production of inorganic fertilizers. Phosphoric or sulfuric acid is fed into one side of the pipe, and gaseous or liquid ammonia is sparged into the reaction chamber. This Continue reading →
Originally designed by the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) for producing ammoniated phosphates, the pipe reactor serves as a way to mitigate the challenges associated with pre-reactor tanks in the fertilizer ammoniation-granulation process. Also known as the cross-pipe reactor, the pipe reactor has been making a Continue reading →
This week’s photo highlights a granulation drum integrated with a pipe reactor. Granulation drums are ideal for high capacity process settings, or when a chemical reaction is required during agglomeration. In those cases, the drum is fitted with a pipe reactor, as seen in this Continue reading →
This week’s highlighted resource is a brochure on pipe reactors. Pipe reactors are utilized in the production of some fertilizers. An acid-base reaction vessel, a pipe reactor allows the heat of the reaction to be captured and utilized to reduce the moisture content of the Continue reading →
This week’s photo illustrates ammonium sulfate granules. FEECO offers comprehensive process solutions for the production of ammonium sulfate using a pipe reactor, a process which produces a premium, round granule. How does granulation with a pipe reactor work? The pipe reactor is integrated into Continue reading →

A pipe reactor is an acid-base reaction vessel that can be incorporated into an agglomeration drum for the production of various, inorganic fertilizers. While the pipe reactor is not required in a system, it can add immense value to a process in terms of energy Continue reading →
Often seen in the production of inorganic fertilizers, a pipe reactor is an acid-base reaction vessel which uses reaction heat as the primary method of drying. This process reduces the burden on the dryer, and can significantly decrease plant energy costs. The pipe reactor accepts Continue reading →
The pipe reactor, or cross pipe reactor, is an acid-base reaction vessel, initially developed decades ago to produce ammoniated phosphate fertilizer. The pipe reactor is again beginning to gain popularity for the energy saving potential it can offer to granulation operations producing products such as Continue reading →
