CHEMICAL REACTOR SERVICE UNIT APPARATUS

Product Description

This set-up is designed to conduct experiments ondifferent types of chemical reactors on the same service unit. Different typesof reactors i.e. continuously Stirred Tank Reactor (CSTR), Plug Flow TubularReactor (Coiled Tube Type) and Batch Reactor (which will be supplied on extracost) as separate units can be installed on the service unit individually oneat a time for conducting experiments. Basically this range of small-scalechemical reactors represents the most common types of chemical reactor found inindustry. The reactors use the saponification reaction between ethyl acetateand sodium hydroxide. This provides a well-understood and safe reaction for thestudents to investigate the different reactor types. Each reactor, mounted on abase plate can be attached to the service unit. The appropriate services suchas feed circulation, instrumentation for and temperature measurement areconnected to the reactor, and it then becomes operational. This service unitcomprises feed tanks, rotameters for flow measurement of reactant etc.Compressed air is used for feed circulation. These all things are mounted on acompact and well-designed base for bench mounting. This is self-contained benchtop service unit to accommodate the reactors, one at a time, for conductingexperiments on the same unit.
