Types of Chemical Reactors

There are several types of chemical reactors including batch reactors, continuous stirred-tank reactors (CSTR), packed-bed reactors, distillation reactors, tubular reactors, moving-bed reactors, plug-flow reactors, and fluidized bed reactors. Each type has distinct characteristics regarding how materials enter and process within the reactor.

CHEMICAL REACTION ENGINEERING

TYPES OF CHEMICAL REACTORS


 BATCH REACTORS
Batch reactors adopt batch operation, its character is to put raw material into the
reactor in one time, and finish reaction.After a certain time,batch reactors can achieve
a desired degree of reaction and dismount the entire reaction material,mainly include
the reaction product and unconverted material.

 CSTR
Continuous stirred-tank reactors (CSTRs) are open systems, where material is free to
enter or exit the system, that operate on a steady-state basis, where the conditions in
the reactor don't change with time. Reactants are continuously introduced into the
reactor, while products are continuously removed.

 PACKED-BED REACTOR
These reactors are tubular and are filled with solid catalyst particles, most often used to catalyze
gas reactions.

 TUBULAR REACTOR

A tubular reactor used in the production of methyl 2-methylpropenoate. The reactor


is heated by high pressure steam which has a temperature of 470 K and is fed into
the reactor at point 1 and leaves the reactor at point 2. The reactants flow through
the tubes.

Large Scale "Cold" Slurry Bubble Column Reactor

The reactor (column) is constructed from SS 304L, SCH 5 with a maximum pressure rating
of 10.3 bar (150 psig). The reactor inside diameter is 0.316 m and its height is 2.811 m. The
column consists of two parts provided with flanges. It is equipped with a six-arm spider type
sparger with 5 mm ID holes. There are two thermocouples and one pressure transducer on the
column itself.
