Flow Reactor and Flow Skid

Industrial pipework
Manufacturing floor
Welding operation

Continuous flow chemistry represents a paradigm shift from traditional batch reactors. Instead of running reactions in large vessels for hours, flow reactors compress the same chemistry into compact equipment where reactions complete in seconds to minutes. This dramatically reduces risk for hazardous processes, improves heat transfer and mixing control, and delivers superior product quality with lower waste.

R&D Therm partners with Flowid, a Netherlands-based flow solutions specialist, to deliver SpinPro dynamic flow reactors based on spinning disc technology. The SpinPro's rapidly rotating disc generates intense shear and turbulence in a narrow gap, creating exceptional mass and heat transfer in a compact footprint. What makes SpinPro unique is independent control over mixing intensity and production capacity, allowing you to run multiphase reactions (gas/liquid, liquid/liquid), controlled emulsifications, precipitations, and organometallic chemistry that would be too hazardous or inefficient in batch.

Our role goes beyond supplying the reactor core. We engineer and integrate complete flow skids, combining the SpinPro with pumps, heat exchangers, filters, pressure relief systems, feed systems, and all necessary instrumentation and controls—to deliver a ready-to-run production system. Whether you need a lab-scale proof-of-concept skid or a full production unit, we manufacture the complete integrated system ready to produce chemicals.

Frequently asked

Questions buyers ask first.

What sizes can R&D Therm fabricate?

We can fabricate equipment up to 4.5 m in shell diameter, 33 m in overall length and 42 MT single-piece weight.

Which codes and certifications do you build to?

We are ASME U-Stamp certified for pressure vessels, IBR-approved for boilers and steam pressure parts, and routinely build to PED (CE marked) for European exports.

Do you handle exotic-alloy fabrication?

Yes — titanium, Hastelloy C-22 / C-276, duplex and super-duplex stainless steels, Sanicro 28 and 904L are routine work for our welding division.

What is your typical delivery timeline?

Standard pressure vessels and heat exchangers typically ship in 12–16 weeks. Larger columns, reactors and skids ship in 16–22 weeks.

Do you provide third-party inspection support?

Yes — we work routinely with Lloyd's Register, BV, TUV, DNV, SGS and customer-nominated inspection agencies.

What does R&D Therm do?

R&D Therm designs and manufactures process equipment including pressure vessels, heat exchangers, reactors, columns and process skids for industries such as chemical, pharma, oil & gas, etc.
