Product Description

Specification:

CHEMICAL REACTOR SERVICE UNIT APPARATUS

Description

This set-up is designed to conductexperiments on different types of chemical reactors on the same service unit.Different types of reactors i.e. continuously Stirred Tank Reactor (CSTR), PlugFlow Tubular Reactor (Coiled Tube Type) and Batch Reactor (which will besupplied on extra cost) as separate units can be installed on the service unitindividually one at 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 andsafe reaction for the students to investigate the different reactor types. Eachreactor, mounted on a base plate can be attached to the service unit. Theappropriate services such as feed circulation, instrumentation for andtemperature measurement are connected to the reactor, and it then becomesoperational. This service unit comprises feed tanks, rotameters for flowmeasurement 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.
