CE 100 Tubular Reactor

Tubular reactors are continuously operated reactors. Tubular reactors make
possible the cost-effective production of large product quantities with
consistent quality.
The main component of CE 100 is the tubular reactor with ten temperature-
controlled sections. Two pumps convey the reactants from the receiving tanks
into the preheating sections and then into the reactor. The preheating sections
consist of a coiled tube located in the hot water tank. After preheating, the
reactants are mixed just before they enter the reactor. The electrical
conductivity of the reaction mixture is measured at the inlet, in the centre
and at the outlet of the reactor. While the reaction mixture flows through the
reactor, the reactants react to the products. The mixture of products and
unreacted reactants leaves the reactor and is collected in a tank.
