Cryogenic Reactor
All cryogenic liquids may be transferred down to -253°C with our cryogenic pipeline system.
Cryogenic Reactor
A cryogenic reactor, low-temperature reactor or cryoreactor is a specialized type of reactor designed to operate under extremely low temperatures. This type of reactor is commonly used in various industrial processes, particularly those involving the handling and transformation of materials at cryogenic temperatures, typically below -196 degrees Celsius (-321 degrees Fahrenheit).
