BENCHTOP CSTR IN SERIES - Solution Engineering

SOLTEQ ®Equipment for Engineering Education & ResearchBENCHTOP CSTR IN SERIESMODEL: BP 151-ATHE Benchtop CSTR in Series (Model: BP 151-A) has been designed as an economical way tointroduce students of Chemical Engineering on the dynamic behaviour of reactors in series. The unitis based on the simplest classic case of a well-mixed, multi-staged process operation that basicallyconsists of three reactors connected in series by piping. The solution in each reactor is well stirred and theconcentration can be measured. Sump tanks, feed pumps and instrumentations are also provided with the unit.Students shall be able to compare the measuredresponses of the vessel concentrations to a deliberatechange at the inlet with a theoretical prediction. Thepiping arrangement has been designed to include a“dead time” coil in the system. Feed liquid to the firstvessel is drawn from either of the two sump tanks bya pump, via a flowmeter and control valve. The tracermaterial concentration in each sump tank is made tobe different. At a selected instant, a sudden changefrom one feed to the other is made: either for acontinuous period (“step function”), or for a shortinterval (“impulse function”), and the concentrationchanges with time in each vessel is measured. Theresults are compared with the predicted exponentialresponses for 1 st order system in series.
