Sodium Silicate Vessel Description :

A sodium silicate vessel(capacity range 1000L to 20kl) is a specialized storage or processing container designed to handle sodium silicate, commonly known as water glass. This chemical is an alkaline, viscous liquid used in applications such as adhesives, detergents, cement, water treatment, and fireproofing.

Key Features
Material Construction: Typically made from stainless steel (SS304/SS316), mild steel with rubber lining, or FRP (Fiber-Reinforced Plastic) to resist the corrosive and alkaline nature of sodium silicate.

Design Pressure and Temperature:Pressure: Generally designed for atmospheric or low-pressure conditions, but can be rated higher if needed.Temperature: May be designed to handle temperatures up to 90°C or more, depending on process requirements.Capacity: Can range from a few hundred liters to several thousand liters, depending on application.Nozzles and Fittings:Inlet and outlet nozzles for fluid transfer.Vent nozzle to release trapped air or vapors.Manhole or inspection port for maintenance.Level indicators (sight glass or radar level sensor).Agitator (optional),
if mixing is required.Mounting Type:Vertical or horizontal orientation.Supported on legs, skirt, or saddles.Optional Features:Heating coils or jackets (steam/electric) if temperature control is necessary.Insulation and cladding to retain heat.

Internal coating for enhanced corrosion resistance.Applications:Chemical manufacturingDetergent and soap industryConstruction material productionWater treatment plants
