Chicago Boiler designs and fabricates reactor vessels for applications ranging from pilot-scale facilities to large-scale chemical production plants. Built to safely handle products under controlled environments, our reactors maintain precise internal temperatures and support both chemical and physical changes — with or without agitation.

- Half-Pipe Jackets
- Dimple Jackets
- Conventional Jackets
⚠️ Note: Any jacketing requiring pressures over 15 PSI falls under ASME codes and stamping requirements.

Reactor vessels can be fabricated from a wide range of materials to ensure durability and compatibility with your process:
- Stainless Steel Alloys
- Carbon Steel
- Nickel Alloys
- Other specialty alloys available upon request
Finishes & Enhancements
Finishes and treatments can be customized to your application’s standards, including:
