Precision equipment for chemical processing.

From petrochemicals and polymers to specialty intermediates and consumer products — reactors, columns, and ASME vessels built with complex metallurgy and code compliance.

Basic · Specialty · Consumer Chemicals

Supporting all three segments of the chemical industry.

Harris Thermal partners with leading chemical producers, EPCs, and OEMs across basic chemicals (petrochemicals, polymers, acetyls, solvents, inorganics), specialty chemicals (adhesives, coatings, catalysts, additives), and consumer chemicals (soaps, detergents, formulated products).

Applications we support include acetyls and solvents (acetic acid, VAM, solvent recovery), adhesives and resins, sodium carbonate conversion, activated carbon regeneration, specialty intermediates, plus Lethal Service and Cyclic Service designs per ASME Section VIII, Div. 1.

Our Equipment

Reactors, columns, and systems for every process.

Reactors & Conversion

  • Tubular & Fixed Bed ReactorsContinuous polymerization, hydrogenation, and catalytic conversion.
  • Fluid Bed ReactorsCoatings, resins, and catalyst-driven processes.
  • Jacketed High-Alloy ReactorsHydrogenation, esterification, and polymerization for specialty intermediates.

Columns, Reboilers & Condensers

  • Fractionation & Distillation ColumnsAbsorption, stripping, dehydration, and solvent purification — with column internals.
  • Reboilers & Overhead CondensersIntegrated with columns for continuous separation in acetyls, solvents, and monomer duty.
  • Gas Absorbers & Carbonation VesselsGas-liquid reactions with downstream crystallizers and evaporators for solids recovery.

Thermal, Separation & Storage
