The ideal completely mixed batch reactor is a closed system.

This is essentially a batch reactor used in a continuous flow.

The advantages of the batch reactor lie with its versatility.

For processes with very high heat loads, there are better solutions than batch reactors.

Batch reactors represent an effective and economic solution for many types of slow reactions.

Products within batch reactors usually liberate or absorb heat during processing.

The Batch reactor is the generic term for a type of vessel widely used in the process industries.

Using more than one batch reactor at a plant can ensure constant production of biogas.

Batch reactors suffer from odour issues that can be a severe problem when they are emptied.

The ammoniacal nitrogen levels can be lowered using a sequencing batch reactor.

Batch reactors are the simplest type of precipitation reactor.

Where mixing is a critical parameter, the batch reactor is not the ideal solution.

There are several types of batch reactor cooling jackets:

There can be severe odour issues if a batch reactor is opened and emptied before the process is well completed.

Batch reactors are excellent at handling difficult materials like slurries or products with a tendency to foul.

The Alydro reactor is designed for continuous reaction and not as a batch reactor.

There is a large installed base of batch reactors within industry and their method of use is well established.

The microreactor is usually a continuous flow reactor (contrast with/to a batch reactor).

Pressurisation of materials within microreactors (and associated components) is generally easier than with traditional batch reactors.

A typical batch reactor consists of a tank with an agitator and integral heating/cooling system.

Continuous reactors are generally smaller than batch reactors and handle the product as a flowing stream.

Most batch reactors also use baffles.

It has to be recognized however that large batch reactors with external cooling jackets have severe heat transfer constraints by virtue of design.

Batch reactors are stirred tanks sufficiently large to handle the full inventory of a complete batch cycle.

The explosion occurred in a 2500 gallon batch reactor during production of methylcyclopentadienyl manganese tricarbonyl.
