Introduction to Reactors
A reactor is a vessel used to convert raw materials into useful products
by the controlled chemical reactions.
Combine raw materials with a catalyst & heat
The basic components of a reactor include
A shell or vessel
A heating or cooling device
Two or more product inlet ports (Raw material)
Outlet port ( Product)
A mixer or Agitator
Five basic types of reactors are :
Stirred tank reactor
Converters or fixed bed reactor
Fluidized bed reactor
Tubular reactors &
Furnace.
