CMS was engaged to assist in the design and manufacture of these two reactors.  They were fabricated in our workshop and had a chemical resistant rubber lining installed by Blackwoods Paykels.

Each of the reactors was installed on separate shutdowns, and CMS planned and carried out the shuts, along with additional extra work that was required during that period.
