BIAZZI HYDROGENATION TECHNOLOGY SUCCESSFUL IN SORBITOL AND ASSOCIATED PRODUCTS

Recently, the Swiss company was awarded three various orders from two US companies for the delivery of hydrogenation equipment for the production of Sorbitol and other similar hydrogenated sugars. The reactors have between 16 and 19 m3 useful volume.

Biazzi leadership in hydrogenation for chemical, pharmaceutical, resins and other applications is already worldwide known.

Recently, the Swiss company was awarded three various orders from two US companies for the delivery of hydrogenation equipment for the production of Sorbitol and other similar hydrogenated sugars. The reactors have between 16 and 19 m3 useful volume.

The numerous tests made at Biazzi laboratory demonstrated to the customers excellent product quality , short reaction time and improvement compared to standard systems. Biazzi guarantees full and direct scale-up from laboratory results (one litre) up to 50 m3 reactors.

The newly own developed dry magnetic drive ( up to more than 100 KW) simplifies considerably the operation, increases the safety and reduces the risk of mechanical troubles.

The design pressuresof the units vary between 45 and 70 bar, but reactors can be delivered up to more than 100 bar depending on the applications. If needed, cGMP (pharmaceutical) execution is also easily and standard wise delivered by Biazzi.
