Since the first nuclear power plants went online in the 1950s the size of reactor units has grown from 60 MWe to more than 1600 MWe. This has provided enormous engineering expertise in their operation and also a great deal of data on their reliability and safety.

Today there is an interest in smaller units, especially for electricity generation and process heat. These are called small or modular used reactors or, more specifically, micro-reactors. They may be built independently or as modules in a larger complex.

Compared to large nuclear power plants the designs of these units have greater simplicity of design, economies of series production largely in factories and much shorter construction times. Most are also designed for a high level of passive or inherent safety in the event of malfunctionsc. buy reactors from surplusrecord.

These units require less space and cooling water than the big ones and may be able to operate with ambient air rather than requiring access to the sea. They may also be built in a variety of locations, including remote sites, marine shipping, military instillations and on board aircraft. The US Department of Energy’s Advanced Research Projects Agency – Energy (ARPA-E) has set up a new fission programme that is beginning to look at small micro-reactor technologies, below 10 MWe. This is aimed at developing highly reliable, affordable and mobile, self-regulating, carbon-free power for back up power and a range of other uses including remote sites.

A chemical reactor is a vessel used to carry out chemical reactions. It can be made of a variety of materials. Its purpose is to regulate the conditions of a chemical reaction, such as temperature and pressure. It is important to select the best reactor for your specific needs. Chemical reactions require a lot of heat to produce results. You should make sure the chemical reactor has a high tensile strength, so it can handle the pressure that comes with a reaction.

Reactors come in different sizes and shapes. They are also available in jacketed or non-jacketed models. Jacketed tanks are more expensive but can withstand high temperatures. Non-jacketed tanks are cheaper and are best suited for environments that do not need to be temperature controlled.

Reaction vessels are usually constructed of metals such as stainless steel or Inconel. The choice of material depends on several characteristics, including the tensile strength, fracture resistance and creep strength of the alloy. The corrosion resistance of the material is also an important factor. It is also important to consider the effect of the chemical environment on the mechanical properties of the material.

It is important to maintain the chemical reactors on a regular basis. This will ensure they are in proper working condition and will last longer. It is also advisable to hire personnel with plenty of experience in operating the chemical reactors. This will help you avoid any mishaps in the process.

Used Reactors Pressure

Reactors are used in commercial production applications including mixing of product, solids dissolution, distillation, crystallization & chemical reactions. Surplus Solutions stocks used process reactors, high pressure & hydrogenation reactor equipment and more in both jacketed & non-jacketed versions.

Choosing a reactor type usually starts with a chemical engineer collecting data about the desired reaction and then selecting reaction conditions. The conditions determine the operating pressures, temperatures and mixing speeds that will be required. A preliminary economical analysis may also be conducted to estimate costs and target yields. This information can then be used to select the appropriate materials of construction.

Once the material has been chosen it must be tested under simulated process conditions. This testing can include determining the maximum safe operating temperature as well as assessing corrosion resistance. Testing may also be needed to determine the ability of a material to resist stress corrosion cracking or intergranular corrosion.

Reactors are used in a variety of industries including oil and gas, petrochemicals, pharmaceuticals, food & beverages, and paper & pulp processing. Aaron Equipment offers a large inventory of used sanitary reactors in both jacketed & non-jacketed designs. Jacketed reactors are ideal for environments that require temperature control while non-jacketed tanks are a cost effective choice for environments that do not need to be temperature controlled. This is a 500 gallon 316 Stainless Steel jacketed reactor that has 2 zone jacket (Carbon Steel jacket on side, SS dimple jacket on bottom). It has a mechanical seal & a Lightnin mixer model SR3S50 with a 0.5 HP, 208-230/460 V, XP drive.

Chemical Reactors Equipment

Chemical reactors are a critical piece of equipment in the conversion of feedstock to products. They are the heart of a chemical plant, and their design is based on physics and thermodynamics. They are often built in a variety of shapes and sizes. They range from a few cm3 to the vast structures seen in photographs of industrial plants. The choice of a reactor type depends on the desired product output, production capacity, and other factors.

Depending on the reaction type, a chemical reactor may require special design. For example, if the reaction is exothermic it could runaway (temperature rises due to heat of reaction being released, increasing the reaction rate, and releasing more heat, etc). To prevent this from happening, the reactor must be designed to control the temperature using a controlled cooling system or flooded with cold solvent or inert species.

A chemical reactor can be either continuous or batch. For continuous reactions, a continuous stirred tank reactor (CSTR) or tubular reactor may be used. For batch reactions, a kiln or other heated vessel may be used. A CSTR or PFR typically operates with a single uniform residence time, which is narrower than that of a batch reactor or a continuous flow regenerative kiln (CFR). Unlike a CSTR, which has a plug-flow effect, the fluidized bed of a PFR can be mixed to create more of a uniform distribution.
