Transcript of Application of Plug Flow Reactor

Reactor to accomplish high heat

transfer during chemical reaction

• Plug Flow Reactor employed in industrial application where high exothermic or explosive energy involved in carrying the chemical reaction.

• It ensures safe heat transfer between the instrument and the surrounding.

• It is commonly used to ensure static mixing of the components.

Works effectively under condition

• Constant density

• Balanced conditions

• A single reaction

• Plug flow

Features of an ideal reactor

• Uniform distribution

• Short residence time

• Advanced technique

• Smooth appearance

• Quality design

• Ensure safe heat transfer

• Static mixing of components

Application

• Plug Flow Reactor are used to carry out the following reactions

• Suzuki reaction• Hoffmann reaction• Grignard reaction• Oxidation reaction• Biocatalysis• Hydrogenation• Bourne reaction• Emulsion polymerisation• Nano particle synthesis• Counter current extraction•
