SUNKAIER

Sunkaier - Model CAPFPR - Agitated Plug Flow Polymerization Reactor

In a CAPFPR, the monomers, solvents, and catalysts are continuously fed into the reactor at one end. The agitator(s) inside the reactor ensure that the mixture is well-stirred, promoting even reaction conditions. As the reaction progresses, the polymerizing material moves through the reactor in a plug flow fashion, exiting from the other end once it has reached the desired conversion and molecular weight.

REACTOR INTERAL CONFIGURATION

In processes characterized by highly exothermic reactions, such as those found in polymerization reactions within a plug flow reactor, efficient heat management is critical. Exothermic reactions release a significant amount of heat, which must be effectively dissipated to maintain safe operating conditions and control the reaction rate. To address this, the heat exchanger tubes in such reactors are specially configured to optimize heat transfer and ensure the stability of the reaction conditions.
