Generally speaking though, good FRP equipment is better for digestion equipment at ambient pressures through simmering aqua regia.

Does STOL in the video refer to Short Take Off & Landing? If it does I think I would prefer the LTOL version. I was waiting for that plane to do a nose plant!
That's very reasonable GSP. I got the price "indication" from Pfaudler for a 30 Gallon reactor a few years back, and it was $100,000 give or take, depending on the extras. At that time it was also export restricted, so really not viable at all for me.goldsilverpro said:I've spent many hours wandering around used equipment yards looking for Pfaudler kettles. One time, we found a yard that had an acre or three of nothing but Pfaudlers. I tried to remember where it was but I can't. It may have been here in AR, in the early 80s. The Pfaudler kettles I've had or those that were in a place I worked, were all just the bottom part: the steam jacketed, cast iron, blue glass lined, kettle itself. Usually 50 gallons. No lid. No mixer. No anything else. Actually, for what we were using them for, dissolving a lot of metal, that was all we needed. Sure a lot cheaper than if you bought the whole thing.
Thanks for the information Lou. At that price, it is a bargain. I remember clearly the conversation I had with the lady in sales. I had the definite impression that she didn't want to sell any units!. Weird company!.Lou said:Wow!
That is quite expensive. Normally I can pick up a used 50 gallon Pfaudler for 500-1500 without lid and 3K with the lid and 3-7 nozzles.
What’s expensive are heat exchangers!
