Components
Thar Process Inc. designs and manufactures in-house all major components of its supercritical plants. To satisfy customer demands, these components are designed and built to the highest national and international standards.
High Pressure Vessels
Supercritical fluid processing vessels are designed and manufactured in accordance with American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) Section VIII standards. Thar Process vessels have either manual or automated vessel closure mechanisms depending on the customer’s needs. Automated closure mechanisms consist of full diameter quick opening closures, and may utilize segmented rings or clamp type locking mechanisms. Additionally, the vessels are jacketed or electrically traced to guarantee precise temperature control. Customized designs with pressure ratings up to 960 bar are available to satisfy process and/or customer requirements.
Thar Process high pressure pumps provide reliable delivery of CO2 over a wide range of flow rates (0.5 kg/min – 50 kg/min) and design pressures (345 bar – 960 bar). The pumps are multi-plunger type and require no lubrication. They are designed to very tight tolerances to minimize dead volume and pressure fluctuations. The materials of construction are carefully selected for their durability and low coefficients of friction.
Thar Process designs and manufactures a variety of heat exchangers to best fit customer applications, including shell-and-tube heat exchangers, multiple U tube exchangers, double pipe coils, or simple coils in vessels or tanks. In most cases Thar Process heat exchangers are designed to comply with ASME Section VIII standards.
