A complete modular system of individual components with suitable connecting pieces is available. Moreover, a variety of equipment has been developed for accomplishing various processes while paying due attention to the special material properties of the material glass. In combination with other materials, primarily in the field of heat exchangers and evaporators, numerous processes are now conducted without any difficulty in glass plant. In this range of processes, a special place is assumed by those which urgently require glass for corrosion reasons, such as chlorination or bromination reactions or concentration of acids, because specialized know‐how is sometimes required.</jats:p>
