Selection of large and small reactors and their advantages

Scope of application of large reaction kettle and small reaction kettle: it is suitable for petroleum, chemical, pharmaceutical, metallurgy, scientific research, universities and colleges to carry out high-temperature, high-pressure chemical reaction test, used to complete the hydrolysis, neutralization, crystallization, distillation, evaporation, storage, hydrogenation, hydrocarbonation, polymerization, condensation, heating and mixing, thermostatic reaction and other processes, the viscous and particulate substances can achieve the high mixing effect.
We need to study the following when choosing the volume of the reaction kettle, in addition to considering the actual situation:
Small Reactor has the following advantages compared with large reactor.
High flexibility:Small reactors are relatively small in volume and capacity, more flexible and convenient. It can be adjusted and moved according to the demand to adapt to different experimental conditions and environments. While the large reactor needs to be fixed in a certain position, can not move flexibly, installation and adjustment is more complicated. High reaction efficiency: small reactor generally has a higher heating and cooling speed, can provide the required reaction temperature and reaction rate faster, compared with large reactor due to the larger volume, it takes longer time to reach the required reaction temperature and reaction rate.
Saving resources, small reactor due to the smaller volume, the amount of reactants and reagents required is correspondingly smaller, can save the use of raw materials and reagents. At the same time, the energy consumption of the small reactor is relatively low, and does not require a large amount of energy supply.
High precision of reaction control: small reaction kettle is usually equipped with advanced temperature, pressure and stirring control system, which can realize more accurate reaction control. Parameters such as reaction time, temperature and pressure can be accurately controlled as needed to ensure the stability and efficiency of the reaction. The large reactor, due to its large size, has a relatively simple control system and slightly lower control accuracy. Good safety: Small reactors are easier to control and manage safely than large reactors. Small reactors are usually equipped with several safety devices, such as pressure relief valves, temperature controllers and gas detection alarms, etc., which can detect and deal with possible safety hazards in the reaction process in time. At the same time, small reactors are easier to handle accidents and emergency treatment, reducing the damage that accidents may cause to the environment and personal safety.
Lower cost: small reactor design, manufacturing and maintenance costs are relatively low. In contrast, large reactors require greater investment and maintenance costs, including the cost of the equipment itself, infrastructure modifications and operating costs. For some laboratories or small production units, the choice of small reactor can effectively reduce project costs and improve economic efficiency.
