Chemical Reactor Service Unit Apparatus

Specification:
CHEMICAL REACTOR SERVICE UNIT APPARATUS
Description
This set-up is designed to conduct experiments on different types of chemical reactors on the same service unit. Different types of reactors i.e. continuously Stirred Tank Reactor (CSTR), Plug Flow Tubular Reactor (Coiled Tube Type) and Batch Reactor (which will be supplied on extra cost) as separate units can be installed on the service unit individually one at a time for conducting experiments. Basically this range of small-scale chemical reactors represents the most common types of chemical reactor found in industry. The reactors use the saponification reaction between ethyl acetate and sodium hydroxide. This provides a well-understood and safe reaction for the students to investigate the different reactor types. Each reactor, mounted on a base plate can be attached to the service unit. The appropriate services such as feed circulation, instrumentation for and temperature measurement are connected to the reactor, and it then becomes operational. This service unit comprises feed tanks, rotameters for flow measurement of reactant etc. Compressed air is used for feed circulation. These all things are mounted on a compact and well-designed base for bench mounting. This is self-contained bench top service unit to accommodate the reactors, one at a time, for conducting experiments on the same unit.
