Witton Chemical Mildenhall Manufacturing Site

Witton is well equipped to safely carry out chemical reactions with a wide range of reagents including flammable, and highly viscous raw materials. We have facilities to handle materials that melt between 20°C and 90°C. Witton is capable of carrying out exothermic reactions, emulsion and solution polymerisations, distillations and recrystallisations. We have the facilities to isolate, wash and dry solids.

Reactors

Our plant includes number of stainless steel reactors reactors sized from 50 to 18,000 litres. Each vessel has steam heating jackets capable of temperatures up to 150°C. The reactors can operate at moderate pressure or under vacuum. All reactors are fitted with condensers to allow reactions to be run at reflux or set up for distillation if required. Our reactors and condensers are cooled using water from one of three on site cooling towers. All the reactors are vented via scrubbers and each can be inerted with >99.8% nitrogen generated on site.

Our equipment is capable of handling solutions with high viscosities. All our plant is compliant with current DSEAR/ATEX regulations .

Driers

The driers have an operating temperature range of 10°C to 90°C additionally they can operate under vacuum.

Storage

Witton can store and handle Solvents and other materials in bulk. Our bunded bulk tanks have a total storage capacity in excess of 450,000 litres.
