GL & CGL SERIES

GLASS-LINED STEEL REACTORS

Product Description
Our GL series consists of closed-welded reactors without a
large main opening.

Development
The GL and CGL Series are made possible by DDPS’s adjust-
able blade GlasLock® agitator. The agitator blades are readily
passed through the manway for installation into the impeller
hub. The logical progression was to develop a reactor
having no main cover at all, since none is needed. In most
cases, GL reactor manways are conveniently larger. For ex-
ample, in sizes 750 through 2000 gallon, SA Series reactors
have 14” x 18” elliptical manways; the GL reactors in these
sizes have an 18” round manway. Connections are identical
for conventional GL and SA Series jackets.
A new GL-6000 is loaded for shipment from our Corpus Christi TX facility.
Features
All GL reactors are lined with 3009 glass and come equipped
with a GlasLock agitator with adjustable blades. A fixed speed
drive is vertically mounted to keep nozzles and accessories
unobstructed for operational use.

Specifications
• Volumes from from 300 to 10,000 gallons
• Pressures from full vacuum to 130 psig (8.7 bar)
• Temperatures from -20°F (-29ºC) to 500°F (260ºC)

Options
Conventional jackets (GL Series) or HemiCoil® split pipecoil
jackets (CGL Series)

ADVANTAGES
The elimination of the main opening in the GL reactor
design offers a varitety of advantages including:
• Reactors with higher internal pressure rating (up
to 130 psig compared to a conventional 100 psig)
• Gain in top head strength
• More and larger process nozzles
• Larger manways
• No need for large gasket (and possible shimming)
• Fewer spare parts needed
• Reduced principal area for potential leaks
