What is a Batch Reactor?
The phrase "batch reactor" refers to a type of vessel that is commonly employed in the process industry. Its name is a misnomer because these containers are utilised for a wide range of processes, including solids dissolving, product mixing, chemical reactions, batch distillation, crystallisation, liquid/liquid extraction, and polymerization. They aren't always called reactors; instead, they have a name that represents the function they play. A batch reactor consists of a storage tank, an agitator and a heat/cool built-in system. The size of these vessels can range from less than 1 litre to over 15,000 litres. Steel, stainless steel, glass-lined steel, glass, or exotic alloys are commonly used. Connections in the reactor's top cover are typically used to charge liquids and solids. Vapours and gases can also escape through the top connections. Typically, liquids are ejected from the bottom.
