REACTOR

Chemical reactors are vessels designed to contain chemical reactions.One example is a pressure reactor. The design of a chemical reactor deals with multiple aspects of chemical engineering. Chemical engineers design reactors to maximize net present value for the given reaction. Designers ensure that the reaction proceeds with the highest efficiency towards the desired output product, producing the highest yield of product while requiring the least amount of money to purchase and operate. Normal operating expenses include energy input, energy removal, raw material costs, labor, etc. Energy changes can come in the form of heating or cooling, pumping to increase pressure, frictional pressure loss (such as pressure drop across a 90° elbow or an orifice plate), agitation, etc.

1. Jacketed Reactor

In Conventional Jackets second shell is installed over a portion of the vessel, creating an annular space within which cooling or heating medium flows. A simple conventional jacket, with no internal components, is generally very inefficient for heat transfer because the flow media has an extremely low velocity resulting in a low heat transfer coefficient. Condensing media, such as steam or Dowtherm A, is an exception because in this case the heat transfer coefficient doesn’t depend on velocity or turbulence, but instead is related to the surface area upon which the media condenses and the efficiency of removing condensate.Internals include baffles that direct flow in a spiral pattern around the jacket, and agitating nozzles that cause high turbu-lence at the point where the fluid is introduced into the jacket.

2. Limpet Reactor

Limpeted Vessel with Closed Rigid Container is made using graded carbon steel and stainless steel alloy to ensure fine finish and long lasting usage. The Limpeted Vessel is equipped with closed rigid container for effectively holding gases and liquids at different pressure. The Limpeted Vessel is available in a sturdy construction that is easy to operate. Limpeted Vessel with Closed Rigid Container comes in varied shapes and sizes to cater to industrial requirement.
