Construction of a PVC polymerization pilot experiment platform
Thread Content
How should a polymerization reactor be selected for a PVC polymerization pilot plant? It is desired that this setup can be used to verify and scale up the results of laboratory tests, and that the data obtained from these pilot tests can provide reliable basis for industrial production on a scale of 70 m3 or 105 m3. However, if the reactor used in the pilot plant is too large, it may still not be suitable for practical use. In the past, 7 m3 reactors were used, along with corresponding drying systems; but the problem was that these reactors differed significantly from those used in industrial settings. The formulas derived from experiments using such reactors had little relevance when scaling up to industrial levels, and the amount of resin produced during experiments was also quite high. Regarding the selection of the kettle, factors such as volume and structure come into play; is it designed as a scaled-down version of a 70-or 105-kettle? I hope colleagues can come together to discuss this.
Public systems can make use of already manufactured devices.
With the same structure, the surface area is reduced, and mixing processes are also different; it’s likely not representative.
