Reactors are usually considered to an integral part of the manufacturing process. If a reactor jacket becomes fouled, a plant can face serious consequences. Over time internal fouling of the jackets in vessels reduces heat transfer efficiencies, increases reaction times and decreases yield by as much as 15%. In addition, this loss of efficiency can lower a plant's profitability due to the production of off-quality product, increased maintenance expense and higher capital costs due to shorter equipment service life.

Nalco and De Dietrich Process Systems* have teamed up to provide the most comprehensive reactor cleaning service to industry - ReStor

ReStor is a safe, effective and flexible solution to optimize reactors. ReStor improves heat transfer efficiency, resulting in production and efficiency gains ultimately lowering a plants total cost of operation. ReStor increases competitive advantage by minimizing the risk of unnecessary manufacturing delays.

* De Dietrich Process Systems is one of the most comprehensive global suppliers of engineered systems, equipment and services for the fine chemical and pharmaceutical industries. Worldwide there are more than 1,500 people and twenty subsidiaries.
