CHEMICAL REACTORS

The reactor is the central element of a chemical production facility. In the reactor, the starting substances (reactants) react with each other to form a new substance (product). The reactor has to guarantee the conditions for an optimal reaction process. This mainly refers to the temperature in the reactor. Different types of reactors are used, depending on the requirements. CE 310 serves as a supply unit for six different reactors. The reactor to be examined is mounted on the supply unit and held in position by two pins. For continuous operation of the reactors, two tanks for the reactants are arranged on the trainer. The feed unit and reactor are connected hydraulically through hoses. The hoses are equipped with quick release couplings for easy coupling. Two pumps transport the two reactants to the reactor. The retention time of the reactants in the reactor can be adjusted through the speed of the pump. In the reactor, the reactants react to form a product. An additional tank and an additional pump are provided for the product.
