BASIC PROCESS PRINCIPLES
CET Mkll Tubular Reactor - Issue 5
Ordering Specification
• A small scale tubular reactor (volume is 0.4 litres) capable of
demonstrating large scale behaviour.
• The reactor coil is mounted in a clear acrylic vessel through which heating or cooling medium is circulated. Length of reactor coil is 20m.
• Two pre-heat coils bring the reactants up to the reaction temperature separately before they are mixed in a Y piece after which the reaction begins.
• Performance is monitored by a conductivity sensor mounted in a flow cell at the end of the reacor coil.
• Quick release fittings are used for process and service connections to enable quick mounting and removal from the service unit.
• Demonstration capabilities:
> Determination of the rate constant
Demonstration Capabilities
> determination of reaction rate constant
> investigation of the effect of througput on conversion
> demonstration of the temperature dependance of the reaction and the
rate constant
Technical Description
The Armfield Tubular Reactor or 'plug flow' reactor is in the form of
a tube wrapped in a spiral around an acrylic former which is enclosed
in a transparent tank. Water at a controlled temperature is circulated
within the tank, this maintains the reactants at constant temperatures.
Reagents are separately piped to the reactor through quick release fittings
mounted on the lid. Reagents are pre-heated in stainless steel coils before
being mixed and loaded into the reactor coil.
