Alkylation

Pressure Chemical has been performing alkylation chemistry for a wide range of industries for over 40-years. Alkylation processes involve the use of reactive and hazardous raw materials. In addition, alkylations require stringent process control in order to produce desirable product in high yield. Temperature management, exclusion of oxygen and moisture, and engineering controls to avoid personnel exposure are integral parts of a successfully executed alkylation project.

• Safe Handling of Materials PCC has the expertise to manage the chemicals and processes required for alkylation chemistry. We routinely handle materials such as boron trifluoride, ammonia, and alkali metals, and have procedures and practices in place to ensure sound EHS&S stewardship. Our project leaders and process personnel have substantive experience in the effective management of such materials.

• Process Control All projects are individually assessed for their process control requirements. Often, custom control systems are implemented to maintain optimal reaction conditions. This capability ensures a safe alkylation process. Please see our Chemical Production Equipment List.

• Post Reaction Workup Product isolation from alkylation reactions can be challenging. After your process chemistry is complete, we maintain a wide variety of ancillary equipment to facilitate isolation of your product (high-rectification distillation, precipitation followed by filtration or centrifugation, and rotary vacuum or tray drying).

• Process Waste Safe handling and disposal of alkylation process waste is assured by detailed waste characterization and profiling. Wastes are closely monitored on a project-specific basis and streams that require special handling can be segregated and managed.
