Combined Flow Reactor
In a Combined Flow Reactor, the contents are passed through two types of
Reactors PFR and CSTR, connected in series. This set-up is used to
study a non-catalytic homogeneous second order liquid phase reaction
under ambient condition. The set up consists of two feed tanks through
which two reactants are fed to the reactors. Rotameters are provided to
measure the individual flow of Chemicals. The flow rate can be adjusted
by operating the needle valves provided on respective Rotameter. The
magnetic drive pump is used for circulation of feed. Pressure Regulator,
Pressure Gauge and Safety Valve are fitted in the compressed air line.
The Reactants enter at lower end of helical coil tube type reactor
coming out of the top of coil again entering to the CSTR which is fitted
with stirrer for proper mixing. Arrangement is made for sampling from
both the reactors. From top outlet of PFR and CSTR samples are collected
for analysis.
