Comparison of continuous reactors

DESCRIPTION

 

This unit is designed for a comparative study of four reactors (with a similar volume – 1 L), which work in continuous mode.

Reactor Types:
- 1 reactor with agitation consisting of two 0.5 L- reactors in cascade,
- 1 reactor, with agitation
- 1 reactor-cylinder of large diameter with plunger.
- 1 reactor-S shaped cylinder, narrow in diameter.

Each reactor is equipped with a conductivity sensor.

Chemical reactions using two reagents are studied.

This unit is mounted on a frame with little wheels making it easy to move.

The unit is delivered complete with technical documentation and instructions.
