Glass Reactor - Definition & Types Glass Reactors

Image
  A typical glass reactor is made up of a glass vessel with an agitator and a heating/cooling system built in. The borosilicate glass jars are available in sizes ranging from 50ml to 200L. Liquids or solids are fed into the reactor through connections on the top cover. Vapors are normally discharged from the top connectors, while wastes are usually discharged from the bottom. The adaptability and visibility of the glass reactor are its main features. A single vessel system may perform a series of procedures without breaking containment, which is essential when processing dangerous or highly potent substances.   Actually, a glass reactor is just one of several types of reactors that include glass lined reactors, hydrothermal synthesis reactors, magnetic stirring reactors, electric heating reactors, steam reactors, and so on. However, the glass reactor is the most widely utilised. Glass reactors have the advantages of no pollution, high temperature and corrosion resistance, hy...

Advantages of Wiped Film Evaporator (WFE)

Image
  The Wiped Film Evaporator (WFE) is used to concentrate, distill, strip, dehydrate, and deodorize heat-sensitive or viscous goods. The apparatus is capable of handling a wide range of feed compositions ranging from 1% to over 95% concentration. WFE provides various benefits, which are listed in the table below. The action is continuous with a single pass; the thin film is produced and renewed by self-cleaning continuous contact wipers. This type of process increases product production while avoiding residue and colour buildup. It has an inbuilt condenser (optional) that reduces pressure loss while maintaining a vacuum. Advantages of Wiped Film Evaporator (WFE): ●     Slotted Wiper Blades: For improved heat transfer, unique wiper blade designs effectively spread the material in a thin film on the wall. To reduce residence time, blades move the product down the heated wall in a matter of seconds. ●     Low Rotor Speed: While working with Ablaz...
