Agitated Reactor

We supply agitated vessels for batch and semi-batch operations in the production of fine chemicals, APIs, and specialty chemicals.

Reactor Agitator

Reactors, also known as reactor agitators, operate in batch, semi-batch, or continuous modes. An agitated vessel consists of a tank with an agitator and an integrated heating/cooling system, facilitating efficient mixing, heat transfer, and chemical reactions. The agitator, mechanically designed to ensure uniform mixing, enhances reaction efficiency. These vessels are made from stainless steel or alloys like Hastelloy C-276, C-22. Liquids and solids are captured at top, while vapors and gases exit from designated connections. The specialized design of the reactor agitator allows for effective blending, cake washing, and simultaneous filtration. The agitated vessel diagram typically includes components such as the agitator, baffles, heating/cooling jackets, and inlet/outlet connections.

FAQs

How does an agitated vessel work?

An agitated vessel works by using a mechanical agitator to stir and mix the contents inside the reactor. This agitation ensures uniform mixing, enhances heat transfer, and promotes effective chemical reactions. Kumar Process Consultants provides advanced agitated reactors designed for optimal performance.

What are the common types of agitators used in reactors?

There are several types of reactor agitator are available, each suited for different applications: Propeller Agitators, Turbine Agitators, Paddle Agitators, Anchor Agitators, Helical Ribbon Agitators, Sawtooth Disc Agitators, and Magnetic Agitators.

What is the agitation process?

The process of agitation involves using a mechanical device to stir or mix a fluid or mixture, ensuring uniform composition and enhancing mass transfer. Agitation is essential in processes like blending, reaction, and heat transfer.

What is agitation in chemistry?

Agitation in chemistry involves mixing or stirring substances to ensure uniform distribution. It also creates fluid currents to prevent stagnation, aiding in heat transfer, dissolution, and reaction efficiency.

What is the mass transfer of an agitated vessel?

Mass transfer in an agitated vessel refers to the movement of molecules within the mixture due to agitation, improving the distribution of reactants and enhancing reaction rates.

How does agitation affect mass transfer?

Agitation enhances mass transfer by increasing the contact area between different phases and reducing the boundary layer thickness, leading to more efficient mixing and faster reactions.
