Titanium ASME Reactor Pressure Vessel Fabrication

Reactor Fabrication

When your operation depends on chemical reactions under high pressure, high temperature, or corrosive conditions, your reactor vessel isn’t just another piece of equipment — it’s the heart of your process. Choosing the wrong fabricator can lead to leaks, downtime, or even system failure. That’s why companies across the nuclear power generation, petrochemical, oil and gas, and pharmaceutical industries trust TiFab — the proven leader in titanium ASME reactor vessel fabrication and corrosion-resistant metal solutions.

Reactor vessels face some of the harshest conditions in the plant. From aggressive acids to elevated temperatures, they’re constantly under attack by corrosion, erosion, and mechanical stress.

Even the most advanced alloys can fail if fabrication isn’t performed to exacting ASME standards. A poorly executed weld or the wrong material pairing can compromise safety and production. And when failure occurs, it doesn’t just stop your process — it threatens your entire operation’s reliability and profitability.

TiFab provides turnkey design, fabrication, and repair services for custom-engineered reactor vessels. Every vessel we produce — whether titanium, zirconium, or Hastelloy® — is manufactured to ASME Section VIII standards for pressure vessel construction. Our specialized knowledge in reactive metals ensures your equipment performs safely and consistently, even in the most extreme process environments.

• Custom engineering and design support: We collaborate with your process engineers to optimize performance, safety, and cost.
• Precision fabrication: Our facilities are equipped to handle large-scale pressure vessels up to 20 feet in diameter and over 100 feet long.
• Advanced weld procedures: All welding is performed under ASME and NAVSEA certification, ensuring flawless, code-compliant joints for critical applications.
• Full material traceability and testing: Every component undergoes non-destructive testing (NDT) and quality inspection to guarantee integrity.

Field services and repair: TiFab’s ASME & NAVSEA-certified field welders can mobilize anywhere in the world to perform on-site repairs, modifications, or installation.

Different industries demand different materials, and TiFab’s team understands exactly how to match material performance to process conditions.

• Titanium ASME reactor vessel fabrication: Ideal for chloride-bearing environments such as seawater, brine, or bleach processes in the chemical and oil & gas industries.
• Zirconium ASME reactor vessel fabrication: The metal of choice for high-temperature acids like hydrochloric or sulfuric acid — a favorite in the pharmaceutical and specialty chemical sectors.
• Hastelloy® ASME reactor vessel fabrication: Used for extreme chemical resistance in mixed acid environments or oxidizing conditions often found in refining and petrochemical operations.

Whether you require solid wall, clad construction, or jacketed reactor designs (including half-pipe or dimple jacket styles), TiFab delivers solutions engineered for efficiency and longevity. Jacketed and clad configurations are optimized for cost and thermal performance, allowing the use of carbon steel shells paired with corrosion-resistant linings.
