Pressure vessel reactors come in several configurations, each suited to specific process needs:
Batch Reactors: The most common type for specialty chemical and pharmaceutical production. All reactants are loaded at once, the reaction proceeds, and the entire product is removed after a set time. They are highly flexible for multi-product facilities.
Continuous Stirred-Tank Reactors (CSTR): Reactants are continuously fed in, and product is continuously withdrawn. They operate at a steady state and are ideal for large-volume, consistent production.
Tubular Reactors: Often used for extremely high-pressure gas-phase reactions (e.g., polyethylene production). Reactants flow through a long tube where the reaction occurs as they travel.
