A Reactor Vessel is a key piece of equipment used in chemical, pharmaceutical, and biochemical industries where controlled chemical reactions take place. It provides a confined space for reactants to mix and react under specific conditions (such as pressure, temperature, and agitation) to produce the desired product.
Reactor vessels are designed to handle both exothermic (heat-producing) and endothermic (heat-absorbing) reactions. These vessels are built to withstand high pressures, temperatures, and chemical corrosion, depending on the process requirements.
🧰 Main Components:| Component | Description |
|---|---|
| Vessel Body | The main container, typically made from stainless steel (SS 316L) or carbon steel, depending on the application and material compatibility. |
| Agitator/Mixer | A stirring mechanism that ensures uniform mixing of reactants, often a turbine, anchor, or propeller type. |
| Jacket | A surrounding shell through which heating or cooling fluids flow (such as steam or chilled water) to maintain the desired temperature inside the reactor. |
| Inlets/Outlets | Pipes for feeding reactants and removing byproducts, products, or gases. |
| Pressure Relief Valve | Ensures safety by controlling the internal pressure, preventing overpressure situations. |
| Sensors | Used for monitoring parameters like temperature, pressure, level, and pH inside the reactor. |
| Seals and Gaskets | Ensure the vessel remains airtight and prevents leakage of gases or liquids. |
| Manway | An opening or hatch that allows operators to access the reactor for cleaning, maintenance, or inspection. |
Pharmaceuticals: Drug formulation, synthesis of active ingredients, fermentation.
Chemicals: Polymerization, nitration, hydrogenation, esterification, and other chemical processes.
Food & Beverage: Sugar syrup production, fermentation (e.g., alcohol), and food flavoring.
Biotechnology: Fermentation, enzyme reactions, cell culture growth.
Petrochemical: Refining and cracking reactions.
Vacuum or Pressure Operation: For reactions that require vacuum or pressurized environments.
Reflux System: To condense vapor back into the reactor to maintain mass balance.
CIP/SIP (Clean-in-Place / Sterilize-in-Place) Systems: For easy cleaning and sterilization.
Safety Features: Explosion-proof versions, flame arrestors, temperature and pressure relief valves.
Batch Reactor: Used for processes that take place in a single batch. Ideal for smaller production runs.
Continuous Reactor: Used for continuous processes where reactants are constantly fed and products are continuously removed.
Flow-Through Reactor: Often used for gas-phase reactions or for processes requiring constant flow of fluids.
Fermentation Reactor: Designed for microbial growth or biochemical processes (bioreactors).
