2015 ended in the coolest way when our 200L glass reactor arrived safety by freigh this afternoon. This beautiful piece of glassware (a chemist’s dream!) is made by QVF, and is typically a process or pilot plant item. The glass reactor sits in a hemispherical heating mantle. Finding chemical glassware of this size at surplus prices is very rare. This glassware will serve as the “pot” for stripping washes prior to rectification. The large volume means almost a whole 55 gallon drum of wash can be processed at a time.
