HCL Gas Generator
HCL gas generator for on-demand hydrochloric acid gas production.
HCl Gas Generator Overview
The HCl Gas Generator is a glass process module that produces nearly anhydrous hydrogen chloride gas from aqueous HCl via chemical or thermal liberation routes. Common methods include the Sulphuric Acid Route (mixing strong Hâ‚‚SOâ‚„ with aqueous HCl to displace gas), boiling route (distillation of HCl azeotrope), and the Calcium Chloride Route (saline feed conversion). This module is critical for processes that require dry HCl gas (e.g. pharmaceutical, specialty chemistries) in which moisture-free gas is needed for reactions.
Specifications
• Capacity range: 5 to 200 kg/hr of dry HCl
• Methods: Sulphuric Acid Route, Boiling Route, Calcium Chloride Route
• Feed: aqueous HCl (30 wt %) and optionally concentrated H₂SO₄ or CaCl₂
• Process units: mixing zone, generation column, drying zone, condenser, mist eliminator
• Efficiency: >99 % gas liberation under controlled conditions
• Utilities: steam, cooling water, chilled brine, acid feed lines
• Pressure: near ambient with minimal pressure drop
• Materials: borosilicate glass reactors, PTFE seals, corrosion-resistant supports
• Safety: gas containment, vent control, condensate return, high reliability in start/stop
• Control: metering of feeds, temperature and flow instrumentation, automation options
Applications
• Generation of dry HCl gas for synthetic chemistry
• Use in pilot labs or R&D setups where moisture-sensitive reactions occur
• Conversion of commercial aqueous HCl to gas form for specialized processes
• Supply of HCl gas to downstream reactors or gas-phase processes
• Integration in technical package systems requiring glass-based gas feed modules
This generator allows clients to produce their own HCl gas on-demand, eliminating transport or purity constraints.
