CONTINUOUS STIRRED

TANK REACTORMODEL: BP 100

HE Continuous Stirred Tank Reactor (Model: BP 100) has been designed to introduce students of

Chemical Engineering on reactor and reaction behaviour. This type of reactor is one of the most important

industrial reactors. The unit comes with all the ancillary equipment except analytical instrumentation for theT

measurement of the composition of feed and product mixtures.

The unit includes a reactor vessel of approximately 4

litres total capacity, and is equipped with a variable

speed stirrer with digital display, inlet and outlet ports for

the feed and product streams, sampling, temperature

measurement and control. The reactant volume is

adjustable by an overflow device. Two non-corroding

feed storage vessels are supplied, together with

chemically resistant pumps and flowmeters. A product

collection vessel is also provided, thus allowing

approximately 1 to 2 hours continuous operation.

The reactor comes with a cooling coil for maintaining

the reaction temperature. A digital temperature controller

is also provided on the front panel. Both exothermic

and endothermic reactions can therefore be carried out

at constant temperature up to approximately 80 oC. A

conductivity meter is provided for the purpose of

determining the extent of conversion. A gas feed line is

included, complete with a gas sparging ring, a

flowmeter and a flow regulating valve to facilitate gas-

liquid reactions: e.g., oxidation.
