Chemical Reactor

There has generally two types of chemical reactors.

Batch Reactor and Flow Reactor

                                       Batch Reactor: 

It is used only for small scale operation like new process reaction which is not even industrially scaled up but can be used to test the feasibility of the reaction.In the laboratory testing batch reactor is normally used.

                                           

Flow Reactor: 

 flow reactor are of two types: continuous stirred tank reactor and plug flow reactor.In CSTR the composition of fluid mixture inside the tank is same as that of outlet flow and there has perfect backmixing between fluid particles.
